“…3.5.2 Private cloud. The cloud is primarily designed, controlled and utilized internally by a firm for a single group or entity, and access to that group or company is restricted (Dogo et al, 2013). The private cloud that has been designed and run specifically by the contracting company can be hosted on the premises of the company.…”

PurposeFundamental literature exists on the employment of diverse information technology (IT) innovations relied on utility computing, a little experimental literature exists on cloud computing adoption by medium enterprises. So, this essay aims to analyze the determinants of the acceptance of cloud computing in medium-sized organizations. It also targets the impact of cloud-depended services on employers' talent management in the analysis areas of research reports, hypotheses and frameworks used by them.Design/methodology/approachCloud computing is a novel and notable development in the network application field with a novel IT viewpoint. The present investigation aims to assist and enrich the scientific argument regarding the phenomenon nominated cloud computing from a managerial perspective. A quantitative study design was utilized to gather and analyze the data. In total, 345 employees from different medium enterprises reported their perspectives via an online survey. Partial least squares was used to evaluate the model of the study. The investigation was performed from April 2020 to November 2020.FindingsAs expected, the empirical analysis results revealed that cloud computing adaption drivers positively and significantly associated with talent management. The results showed that organizational level is the most important factor in the effectiveness of talent management. Further, this study established a cloud strategy that moderates the relationships between cloud computing adaption drivers and talent management. As a general result, organization managers must implement cloud computing to improve organizational performance, reduce costs, enhance organizational innovation and reduce repetitive work. So, international trade facilitates and helps the country's economy.Research limitations/implicationsThere are still some drawbacks of this analysis that require addressing the findings. Initially, the authors gathered a country's data. Second, by considering multiple significant structures from four aspects, they established the study model. Third, utilizing one-time cross-sectional data, the suggested model was evaluated. As a proposal, future researchers could investigate cloud computing adoption drivers' outcomes within other organizations.Originality/valueThis research presents a straightforward and easy model for understanding the cloud's effect on employee talent management. By systematizing the unrelated studies on the subject and organizing those contributions into strong managerial literature paradigms, such an aim has been accomplished.

Cloud computing is a technology that represents a shift from the traditional ownership of infrastructure and other resources to a more scalable pattern in which computer resources are rented online to organizations on either as a pay-as-you-use basis or by subscription. The researcher is motivated to undertake this study due to cloud computing growing awareness which has led to the increasing adoption of the technology by organizations in Nigeria including educational sector. However, the challenges that comes with the technology slow down the rate of its adoption by many universities in Nigeria and making them unconvinced to entrust into the cloud technology. This work investigates the use of cloud computing technology for effective administration in Nigerian universities. From analysis, the research reveals the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats in the adoption of cloud technology and points out the concerns and challenges impeding its adoption. It further discusses the enormous benefits the universities stand to gain for adopting the cloud technology and proffers threat mitigation techniques to prevent the occurrence of the impediment towards the cloud adoption. The finding also recommends some cloud platforms as a means of IT delivery services for effective university administration.

“…It cannot be said that the adoption of cloud computing in Nigeria has enlarged pointedly, but the IT market potential in Nigeria exceeds $ 100 million per year. According to [40], the subsequent main development is high-level cloud computing in Nigeria between IT professionals, government administrations and activities. But there are quiet obstacles to occupied acceptance in Nigeria, including: Data ownership and security, cloud information.…”

Cloud computing is a rapidly emerging technology over the last few years that has abolished the burden of purchasing heavy hardware and licensed software. Cloud computing has been advantageous to Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs), but still numerous SMEs have not adopted cloud computing to delve into its appealing benefits. Asia and Africa vary notably regarding their innovative capability. Asia has been competent to advance and sustain world leadership in technological innovations whereas Africa has not developed significantly in these terms. A seldom comparative study has been implemented on the reasons for the innovation gap between these two continents. This article examines and compares the cloud computing adoption from a Geo-regional framework; Asia and Africa. A comparative study is used to organize the findings from China in Asia, and Nigeria in Africa. The article identifies the probable benefits, usage of cloud computing and level of cloud computing adoption amid SMEs in Nigeria and China. The paper explores the margin that subsists amongst the level of cloud computing adoption in SMEs of these two countries and specifies challenges particular to each country intercepting the complete cloud computing adoption and proposes solutions for Nigerian SMEs to beat these challenges. Furthermore, the article contributes proof-supported intrusion for cloud service providers, the government and the capitalism to enhance the cloud computing adoption amid SMEs to eventually determine the enterprises for the probable financial advantage.
