    La computación en la nube representa una de las tecnologías que lidera la Industria 4.0. El objetivo de esta investigación es analizar la relación entre la ventaja relativa, la compatibilidad, la complejidad, la seguridad, el tamaño de la organización, el apoyo de la alta dirección, la presión competitiva, el apoyo regulatorio, el tipo de industria y la decisión de adoptar la computación en la nube por parte de las pequeñas empresas. Para ello se utilizó un cuestionario validado previamente y se aplicó una encuesta transversal aleatoria. Completaron el cuestionario un total de 105 pequeñas empresas ubicadas en una ciudad de Perú.

    Se aplicaron los análisis de correlación y de regresión múltiple para probar las hipótesis. Los resultados revelaron que la ventaja relativa, la complejidad, el tamaño de la organización y el apoyo de la alta dirección tienen un efecto significativo sobre la adopción de la computación en la nube. Además, se encontró que el apoyo de la alta dirección fue la variable de mayor importancia relativa. Las conclusiones pueden ser de utilidad para la toma de decisiones por parte de los responsables de las pequeñas empresas, los consultores y proveedores de servicios en la nube, así como el gobierno.

    Cloud computing represents one of the technologies that leads Industry 4.0. The objective of this research is to analyze the relationship between relative advantage, compatibility, complexity, security, organizational size, top management support, competitive pressure, regulatory support, industry type and decision to adopt cloud computing by small businesses. For this purpose, a previously validated questionnaire was used, and a random cross-sectional survey was applied. A total of 105 small businesses located in a city in Peru completed the questionnaire. Correlation and multiple regression analyzes were applied to test the hypotheses. The results revealed that relative advantage, complexity, organizational size, and top management support have a significant effect on cloud computing adoption. Furthermore, it was found that top management support was the variable of greatest relative importance. The findings can be useful for decision- making by small business leaders, consultants, and cloud service providers, as well as the government.
