Abstract:

The innovative supply chain firm should avoid any poor or undesired outcome from implementation of the knowledge transferred. Accordingly, the supply chain need to rapidly innovate use an effective and efficient implementation strategy to ensure the desired outcome of the implementation is achieved (Soliman and Youssef, 1998, 2001, 2003). This papers Identified those factors which are relevant to the success of the implementation of Cloud Systems in innovative Supply Chain settings in Qatar. the paper find answers of research questions; What are the factors which could facilitate and perhaps guarantees the success of the implementation of Cloud Systems in innovative Supply Chain settings in Qatar?. Also, Could those factors lead to development of a method for assessment and perhaps measuring the Cloud Systems’ ability to transfer knowledge for innovation purposes?. In this regards, many innovative supply chain firms have considered Cloud Systems to support their innovation efforts as well as satisfying other organisational needs including efficient and effective knowledge transfer. the proposed research model uses some of the important, well-known and internationally recognised previous CSF studies in information systems (IS). In this study, it is proposed that the seven sets of hypotheses that are likely to impact on success or otherwise of Cloud Systems implementation in Qatari firms been identified. The independent variables are tentatively selected from various IT/IS related literature. Those factors will need to be verified by a panel of Focus groups. The study adopted the both quantitative and qualitative methods to examined the proposed hypothesis.
