Item Adoption of Cloud Computing by Tertiary Level Students – A Study(2014-05-19T08:42:55Z) Dhulla, Tejal V.; Mathur, Suman KishoreCloud Computing is an emerging trend in the information technology. Cloud computing provides integrated services through internet. Cloud computing is recognized as a significant cost centre. Change in technology requires continuous investment; Cloud Computing requires a minimal investment to work with. It provides easy access through virtual network on personal devices. This research study defines the behavioral approach of the Tertiary Level Students (TLS) towards the Cloud Computing adoption. The key to adoption to any technology is willingness to accept the proposed technological solution. Some theoretical models focus on individual adoption of technology whereas some have focused on implementation of infrastructure. UTAUT2 is one of the model focuses on individual behavior approach towards adoption. This study is based on the theoretical UTAUT2 model pertaining to adoption of Cloud Computing. With the help of UTAUT2 model Venkatesh et.al. UTAUT2 model includes the behavioral intention and technology use. This research study attempts to identify the influencing factors contributing to the Tertiary Level Students (TLS) towards adoption of Cloud Computing. This study addresses the factors including behavior intention, usage behavior, performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social Influence, facilitating conditions, hedonic motivation, price value, and habit. Individually differences- gender, expenditure and experience are hypothesized having an effect on behavioral intention and usage behavior with respect to Cloud computing adoption. The theoretical and managerial implication of this study is discussed.Item Factors Influencing Professionals’ Decision for Cloud Computing Adoption(2014-05-19T08:50:24Z) Mathur, Suman Kishore; Dhulla, Tejal V.Technology adoption is a process that includes knowledge, awareness and usage of the technology. According to Bridges toTechnology Corp. (2005), technology adoption process comprises- awareness, assessment, acceptance, learning and usage. This study analyses the behavioral approach of ‘Chartered Accountants’ (CAs) towards adoption of Cloud computing. UTAUT2 model is used for the study, which is an extension of UTAUT model. According to Venkatesh et.al. UTAUT model explained about 70% of the variance in behavioral intention to use a technology and about 50% of the variance in technology use. This study analyses the correlation among the constructs of UTAUT2 model and the impact of these constructs for adoption of Cloud computing by CAs.Item Transformational Leadership & Triguna Theory: A Short Literature Review(2014-05-31T10:25:05Z) Dhulla, Tejal V.There has been an increasing discussion and research in integrating philosophy into leadership; as over the years people are exploring many schools of thought. There have been very limited studies have been done to explore and to integrate the Bhagavad-Gita (Vedanta philosophy) into leadership and none in the area of transformational leadership. In line with the growing urge of understanding Indian philosophy and leadership, this paper aims to integrate the Bhagavad-Gita (a part of the great Indian epic Mahabharata) and transformationalleadership, thepaper takes three gunas. The three gunas can also be conceptualized as a progressive development from tamas to rajas to Sattva and these have impact on Transformational Leadership
