“…Despite this, it is argued by Kevany (2010) that cloud computing applications are increasingly being taken up by organisations as their benefits far outweigh the costs. In addition, Loukis et al 2019, Petrakou et al (2011) and Nair et al (2010) emphasised on how moving into the 'cloud' does help in reducing expenditure, enhance the organisation's agility, maintain a faster return on investment, eliminate market entry obstacles, and provide a robust business infrastructure, leading towards business continuity and sustainability. Smith (2009) emphasises that since the computing hardware does not reside in the organisation facility but in a data centre in a different location, there are less in-house IT staffing costs and overheads that are incurred.…”

Μάλιστα, και στις τρεις (Rossignoli et al, 2009;Petrakou et al, 2011;Lorenzini, 2014) στο επίκεντρο της έρευνας βρίσκονται τοπικές Αν και ο όρος του επιχειρηματικού μοντέλου εμφανίζεται στη διεθνή βιβλιογραφία ήδη από τα μέσα του προηγούμενου αιώνα (π.χ.
