estudo teve com objetivo analisar os diferentes determinantes de adoção de serviços cloud computing pelas empresas portuguesas.

Com a validação parcial do modelo de investigação proposto, este estudo procurou contribuir para o aprofundamento do conhecimento no domínio do comportamento de utilização de serviços cloud computing, designadamente no que toca à explicação e predição parcial da intenção de utilização destes serviços.

Conta-se que este estudo possa ser um ponto de partida para outras investigações neste âmbito, contribuindo quer para o avanço do conhecimento científico, quer para a contextualização das ações de gestão.
