即时访问企业的资源，任何时间，任何地点主导当代话语的商业系统转型。因此，通过基于云的资源开发的效用计算的出现改变了对IT资源的看法及其在实践中使用的期望。借鉴资源为基础的观点作为一个理论透镜，我们研究了独特的能力发展的性质，在适应基于云的技术，为企业的增长。专注于两家跨国公司，最近实施的战略，旨在整合和利用云计算的价值的经验，我们认为，虽然云计算可能会改善组织在系统和运营水平，通过实施云计算获得的技能和知识的独特能力的发展是什么可能导致创造和捕获的价值相关的竞争力。我们的案例证据表明，随着信息管理基础设施的改变，由此产生的成本节约和效率提高可能会导致企业持续增长和更强大的外部网络。最后，我们对企业成长价值创造的理论和实践提出了一些建议。
Instantaneous access to firms' resources, any-time, any-where dominates contemporary discourse on business systems transformations. The advent of utility computing through cloud based resource development has therefore altered both the perception of IT resources and the expectations of their use in practice. Drawing on the resource based view as a theoretical lens; we examine the nature of unique capacity development in adapting cloud based technologies for corporate growth. Focusing on the experiences of two multinational firms that have recently implemented strategies aimed at integrating and leveraging value from cloud computing, we argue that while cloud computing may improve organizing at systems and operations levels, the development of unique competencies of skills and knowledge acquired through the implementation of cloud is what is likely to lead to the creation and capture of value relevant for competitiveness. Our case evidence suggests that as information management infrastructure gets altered, the cost savings and efficiency gains that result, may lead to sustained corporate growth and stronger external networks. We conclude with some implications for the theory and practice of value creation for corporate growth.
