In the last few years, cloud computing (CC) has grown from being a promising business concept to one of the fastest growing segments of the IT industry. Many businesses including small, medium (SMEs) and large enterprises are migrating to this technology. The objective of this paper was to describe the opinions of enterprises about the benefits and challenges of cloud computing services in the private and public companies in South Lebanon. During 2019, a cross-sectional study which enrolled 29 enterprises used CC was conducted. The survey included questions on socio-demographic characteristics of representative of companies, and companies' factors in reference to the technology, organization, and environment (TOE) framework. Most (58.6%) of companies were private and micro and SMEs sized (86.8%). The cost saving (75.0%), scalability and flexibility (75.9%), security (44.8%), and improved service delivery were the main benefits that cloud offer to the business. The security aspect, the cost, and the limited provision of infrastructure remain a challenge for the adoption of CC. In conclusion, the research reveals the potential for the development of CC and obstacles for successful implementation of this new technology.

“…In this sense, Big Data is a key technology that helps small businesses acquire the knowledge they need for their innovation policies through previously inaccessible levels of analysis (Vajjhala and Ramollari, 2016;Scuotto et al, 2017). We therefore propose the following hypothesis:…”

“…Defined by consulting firm Gartner (Laney, 2001) as a high-velocity operation of unprecedented volume and variety of data (the "3Vs" model), Big Data allows small businesses to improve their understanding of the market in order to be more effective in creating or transforming their products (Donnelly et al, 2015;Soroka et al, 2017). Big Data increases the firm's ability to meet the needs of its customers by capturing transactional or behavioural data that were previously inaccessible (Vajjhala and Ramollari, 2016;Xie et al, 2016). The transformation of Big Data into information and then organizational knowledge has the potential to stimulate both incremental and radical product innovation (Erevelles et al, 2016;Sen et al, 2016;Zhan et al, 2017).…”

This study examines the interdependence of relational strategies and data management policies of SMEs during product innovation. The type of data management developed by a small firm to support its innovation efforts requires it to engage in competitive, vertical cooperative or coopetitive relationships. An empirical study of 109 leaders of French high-tech SMEs provides a descriptive and explanatory analysis of this question. This empirical study combines three theoretical dimensions: the characteristics of a Big Data policy, of an innovation product and of a relational strategy. We enrich the existing knowledge concerning the exploitation of data by SMEs by presenting a typology of their data strategies. We also find that Big data and Smart data policies are deployed by SMEs to support product innovation. Finally, we show that SMEs implement data management individually to support radical product innovation but will collaborate to support incremental product innovation. The nature of the data innovation guides the relational context of the SME. This study deepens the interdependence of data management and relational strategies among SMEs.

-The article characterizes the essentials and peculiarities of digital economy and lists its basic technologies. A hybrid space, formed by means of integrating a virtual space component into a real one, serves as its basis. The article underlines that in hybrid space, an object can acquire the properties of a subject; things can communicate with each other, the possibility to model everything that can be represented in formalized form appears. The article states the special role of geo-information technologies as the generators of special part of digital economy. For the first time the paper shows the changing of the role function of the geospatial branch in the process of changing the analogue economy to the digital one: from locating real objects of environment to forming spatial knowledge and management solutions as virtual prescriptive (normal) models to influence real objects. The article introduces a new notion of geocognitive technology as a special class of cognitive information technologies, related to perception and usage of geospace. The paper formulates three strategic goals of geospatial activity transformation for requirements and conditions of digital economy: the creation of the geo-informational digital platform, the development of cognitive formation and usage of technologies of unified geo-informational space (UGIS), the development of a number of "through" geo-informational technologies, providing service geospatial functions for different applications. The example of the transition of the concept to geo-cognitive technologies is the open high technology system for managing the region territory -"Smart region".
