Call For papers Special issue on: "Information technology management in the *cloud* world" (http://www.inderscience.com/ijiscm).
Guest Editor: Dr. Linying Dong, Ryerson University, Canada
Cloud computing, the latest technologies for virtualization, has widely been endorsed by organizations to increase their efficiency, reduce costs, and enhance flexibility and adaptability. It is estimated that the worldwide cloud computing spend will reach US$ 148 billion in 2014. While organizations spend between 40 and 50 percent of cloud budget on cloud services from external providers, there has been an increase in spending in private cloud implementations for internal use of the enterprise. The cloud phenomenon heightens the need for advanced theories and improved practices on information technology (IT) management. This special issue is devoted to contemporary theories and empirical analyses on IT management in the *cloud* world. The context for this special issue includes public and private organizations, and cloud computing vendors and customers.
The special issue welcomes a multidisciplinary approach to IT management, welcoming submissions from fields of management science, decision sciences, information systems, organizational theory, among others. Preference will be given to high quality papers that have a firm grounding in theories and that apply diverse research methodologies (e.g., case studies, surveys, experiment).
Subject Coverage We encourage submission of high-quality papers addressing issues involving IT management in the *cloud* world. Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following: a.
