| The coordination of logistics business is the key to reduce the cost of logistics technology and improve the rate of delivery. The latest research and development has shown that the cloud computing can provide a good logistics business collaboration program. But at present, there is a lack of cloud computing in the visual control and data security trust. And the logistics enterprises in the information technology has been a considerable investment, in the construction of new cloud logistics platform needs to increase investment, which have hindered the logistics business to cloud computing needs. In order to promote the application of cloud computing in the logistics industry, it is very important to analyze the influence factors that affect the application of cloud computing, and to carry out the research in this area is of great practical significance.Drawing on the innovation diffusion theory and data from 236 Chinese small and medium-sized logistics service providers (SMLSPs), referenced to the supply chain infrastructure adoption of cloud computing model. The influencing factors and hypothesis of the integration of cloud computing services and SMLSPs are proposed, design a measure for each hypothesis. Finally, an empirical study of the impact of cloud computing needs of the conceptual model is constructed. Then design the questionnaire, taking the SMLSPs as the research object, collected 236 valid questionnaires, through the statistics and analysis of the questionnaire data, verify the hypothesis, and give the final analysis results. The study believes that the cost effectiveness, green benefits of government support, supervision and standardization will drive SMLSPs to implement cloud computing. The results show that SMLSPs will be attracted by cloud computing in the short term to reduce costs, long-term sustainable development advantages, at the same time, government policy support and market regulatory standards, will promote the popularization of cloud computing. |
