Purpose

In the age of a knowledge-based economy and following extensive socio-economic changes, the success of organizations is not limited to gaining financial and material resources. Instead, it depends on the acquisition of intangible assets that can be used to achieve a sustainable competitive advantage. In the new strategic environment, organizations will thrive when they see themselves as a learning organization whose goal is to improve intellectual capital continually; an organization that cannot increase its intellectual capital cannot survive. The term intellectual capital is used in the overlap of all assets, intangible resources and non-physical resources of an organization, including processes, innovation capacity and implicit and explicit knowledge of its members and partner network. However, despite the growing importance of intellectual capital and cloud computing as vital resources for organizations' competitive advantage, there is a limited understanding of them. Simultaneously, the management of intellectual capital enables organizational managers to create, nurture, control and preserves a strong competitive advantage source, the advantage that competitors will not easily capture. So, the main objective of the present investigation is to check out the factors affecting the adoption of intellectual capital management systems based on cloud computing in hospitals.

Design/methodology/approach

In the last two decades, we have moved toward economics, where investment in Information Technology (IT), human resources, development, research and advertising is essential to maintain competitive advantage and certify the sustainability of organizations. Therefore, it can be stated that the economic value is the creation and management of intangible assets, which are referred to as intellectual capital. On the other hand, cloud computing is presented as a new paradigm for hosting and providing services through the Internet. Cloud computing can lead to too many benefits to organizations, including cost reduction, flexibility and improved performance. The present article examines how optimal intellectual capital management can be achieved using cloud computing. So, seven hypotheses were developed through the dimensions of technology, environment, organization and innovation. In this study, the path analysis was performed using Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Partial Least Squares (PLS). By reviewing the literature related to the model of technology, organization, environment and innovation dissemination theory, four main criteria, and 15 sub-criteria were identified based on the opinions of specialists, professors and IT experts based on AHP and PLS methods.

Findings

The results of this investigation confirmed all the hypotheses. The results illustrated that environmental and technological factors should be regarded more when adopting intellectual capital management systems based on cloud computing. The results also indicated that intellectual capital highly influences improving performance. Furthermore, cloud apps, like other disruptive technology, deliver superior benefits while still presenting a slew of realistic challenges that must be tackled. In order to draw a growing customer base to this business model, software vendors should resolve these concerns. The literature revealed that the computing industry is making tremendous strides around the world. Nevertheless, in order to achieve a faster and softer adoption, newer and more advanced techniques are still required.

Research limitations/implications

The research outcomes can significantly impact a wide range of organizations, such as health-related organizations. However, there are some limitations; for example, the sample is limited to one country. Therefore, future studies can measure the data of this study in different samples in different countries. Future researchers can also boost the model's predictive capability to adopt cloud computing in other organizations by adding environmental, organizational, innovation and other technical factors.

Practical implications

Managers will use these emerging innovations to minimize costs and maximize profits in the intellectual capital management competition. An effective cloud computing based on an electronic human resource management system can significantly increase system performance in industries. The investigators expect that the results will direct clinicians and scholars into a more advanced and developed age of cloud-based apps.

Originality/value

Investigations on the impact of cloud computing on intellectual capital management are rare. Accordingly, this investigation provided a new experience in terms of intellectual capital in the field of cloud computing. This study filled the scientific research gap to understand the factors affecting intellectual capital management systems based on cloud computing. This study provides a better insight into the power of organizational and environmental structure to adopt this technology in hospitals.

基于层次分析法和偏最小二乘法的云计算智力资本管理研究

目的

在知识经济时代，伴随着广泛的社会经济变化，组织的成功不仅限于获得财务和物质资源。相反，它取决于对可用于实现可持续竞争优势的无形资产的收购。在新的战略环境中，当组织将自己视为一个以不断提高智力资本为目标的学习型组织时，组织就会蓬勃发展；一个不能增加其智力资本的组织就无法生存。术语智力资本用于组织的所有资产、无形资源和非物质资源的重叠，包括流程、创新能力以及其成员和合作伙伴网络的隐性和显性知识。然而，尽管智力资本和云计算作为组织竞争优势的重要资源越来越重要，但对它们的了解有限。同时，智力资本的管理使组织管理者能够创造、培育、控制和保持一个强大的竞争优势源泉，这是竞争对手不容易夺取的优势。因此，本次调查的主要目的是了解影响医院采用基于云计算的智力资本管理系统的因素。控制和保持强大的竞争优势来源，竞争者不会轻易夺取的优势。因此，本次调查的主要目的是了解影响医院采用基于云计算的智力资本管理系统的因素。控制和保持强大的竞争优势来源，竞争者不会轻易夺取的优势。因此，本次调查的主要目的是了解影响医院采用基于云计算的智力资本管理系统的因素。

设计/方法/方法

在过去的二十年里，我们已经转向经济学，其中对信息技术 (IT)、人力资源、开发、研究和广告的投资对于保持竞争优势和证明组织的可持续性至关重要。因此，可以说经济价值是无形资产的创造和管理，称为智力资本。另一方面，云计算作为一种通过 Internet 托管和提供服务的新范例而出现。云计算可为组织带来太多好处，包括降低成本、提高灵活性和提高性能。本文探讨了如何使用云计算实现最佳智力资本管理。因此，通过技术、环境、组织和创新。在本研究中，路径分析是使用层次分析法 (AHP) 和偏最小二乘法 (PLS) 进行的。通过查阅与技术、组织、环境和创新传播理论模型相关的文献，基于层次分析法和PLS方法，根据专家、教授和IT专家的意见，确定了四个主要标准和15个子标准。

发现

本次调查的结果证实了所有假设。结果表明，在采用基于云计算的智力资本管理系统时，应更多地考虑环境和技术因素。结果还表明，智力资本对提高绩效有很大影响。此外，与其他颠覆性技术一样，云应用程序在提供卓越优势的同时，仍然面临着一系列必须解决的现实挑战。为了将不断增长的客户群吸引到这种商业模式中，软件供应商应该解决这些问题。文献显示，计算机行业正在世界范围内取得巨大进步。尽管如此，为了实现更快、更软的采用，仍然需要更新和更先进的技术。

研究限制/影响

研究成果可以显着影响广泛的组织，例如与健康相关的组织。但是，有一些限制；例如，样本仅限于一个国家。因此，未来的研究可以在不同国家的不同样本中衡量本研究的数据。未来的研究人员还可以通过添加环境、组织、创新和其他技术因素来提高模型的预测能力，以在其他组织中采用云计算。

实际影响

管理人员将利用这些新兴创新在智力资本管理竞争中最小化成本并最大化利润。基于电子人力资源管理系统的有效云计算可以显着提高行业的系统性能。研究人员预计，这些结果将引导临床医生和学者进入一个更先进、更发达的基于云的应用程序时代。

原创性/价值

关于云计算对智力资本管理影响的调查很少见。因此，本次调查为云计算领域的智力资本提供了新的体验。该研究填补了科学研究空白，以了解影响基于云计算的智力资本管理系统的因素。这项研究提供了更好地了解组织和环境结构在医院采用该技术的力量。
