Expanding development environments to accommodate huge amounts of reusable components along with associated maintenance and evolution responsibilities has become difficult and costly for software organizations to cope with, while benefits are limited to owner organizations. The challenge of organizing reusable assets so that finding the right component needed has always been a big challenge. The literature of software reuse lacks a comprehensive search method that is efficient and covers the entire system development lifecycle (SDLC). This research work attempts to make an efficient use of the cloud computing advantages and thus, encourages the migration of reusable components to the clouds. The maintenance, the search process and cost-related problems encountered with traditional in-house development environments can be resolved conclusively on the cloud. This research work proposes a multi-classification and clusters approach to migrate reusable components to the cloud. Accordingly, it applies indexing process to classified reusable components achieving efficient search. In addition, the proposed approach adopts a comprehensive SDLC-based classification to organize reusable components so that searching and finding an appropriate component becomes an easy task due to the fact it is bound to the particular undergoing phase. Cloud computing provides more storage and resources with low cost, compared to traditional in-house development environments.

The primary objective of this paper is to investigate the interplay between individual self-efficacy (SE) and the adoption of business intelligence (BI) tools, and their combined effects on organizational agility and performance. This research offers a novel perspective by examining the relationship between individual SE and BI tools together, which was neglected in the previous research, shedding light on how these factors collectively influence organizational performance and agility. The importance of this study addresses the crucial need for understanding the role of individual capabilities in leveraging BI tools, especially in the context of rapidly changing environments. The study employs a quantitative approach to examine the proposed model. A survey was conducted with 174 respondents from private and public organizations in Jordan. The findings reveal significant and positive impacts of individual experiences, vicarious experiences (VE), and psychological feedback (PS) on SE. Moreover, the study demonstrates that SE significantly and positively influences the utilization of BI tools, consequently affecting organizational agility and performance. The significance of the study findings lies in its ability to bridge the gap between individual capabilities and the effective utilization of BI tools to equip businesses with invaluable insights for enhancing their decision-making processes.

Despite the widespread significance of digital marketing in disseminating information about products and services across a vast customer base via diverse networks, a noteworthy proportion of businesses still struggle to comprehend the crucial factors underpinning the success of viral campaigns. This study aims not only to bridge this knowledge gap but also to introduce an innovative framework that underscores various factors that amplify the potency of social networks and emphasizes an often-overlooked element in customer engagement: the psychological state of customers. Empirical validation of the framework was conducted using a sample of 135 respondents, which was analyzed using the structured equation modeling technique. The study's findings show that the strength of social connections (strong ties) and the psychological disposition of customers significantly shape the generation and viral dissemination of marketing content across diverse networks. The importance of this research lies in its potential application by commercial companies for conducting promotional and marketing campaigns. By leveraging the proposed model, businesses can effectively promote their products and services, thus achieving their strategic objectives and gaining a competitive advantage in an environment characterized by intense competition and constant change.

Trust in the context of business-to-consumer (B2C) electronic commerce (EC) is complex and a multidimensional construct. It is affected by many internal and external factors. These factors might change overtime. Therefore trust value becomes dynamic and creates a big challenge. Although, many researchers studied the effect of different factors on consumerspsila trust, the trust literature lacks clear differentiation among the factors contributing to trust and fails to capture its multidimensional nature. Thus, this research presents a holistic approach that study trust empirically in the context of B2C EC and attempts to determine the major factors that affect consumerspsila trust. The research provides a valuable feedback for e-commerce Web site designers and for e-vendors as well.
