Abstract
“Cloud computing” is the new buzz term in the IT industry. Many practitioners have already adopted the technology or are in the process of adopting it. Yet, there is no methodological research investigating the adoption process. This paper reviews articles and interviews published mostly in practitioner journals to develop a theoretical framework that help us to better understand the cloud computing phenomena. As such, the framework provides a stepping stone for future cloud computing studies.

Cloud Computing: A Qualitative Study and Conceptual Model
