No | Hypotheses | Coefficient | Result |
|---|---|---|---|
H1 (+) | Organisations that perceive high relative advantages of cloud computing are more likely to migrate | 0.18 | Supported (p < 0.05) |
H2 (−) | Perceiving cloud computing as a complex technology will negatively affect the decision to migrate | −0.14 | Supported (p < 0.05) |
