摘要：Nowadays Cloud Computing and Cloud Sourcing is on the agenda in many organizations. Many Chief InformationOfficers (CIOs) that urge for alternatives to traditional outsourcing are interested in how they can take advantage fromCloud Computing, by sourcing Information Technology (IT) from the cloud. This paper provides an overview of theresearch direction of Cloud Sourcing in the IS field. A literature review based on selected papers from top InformationSystems (IS) journals and conferences were conducted. Findings from the review indicate that the attention of CloudSourcing in IS literature has mainly been directed towards security and risk as well as adoption issues, and that CloudSourcing is claimed to be the next generation of outsourcing. Unfortunately, this is where this strong claim ends withoutany further evidence, which indicate that there is a need for more research on Cloud Sourcing, especially in thedirection of investigating relationships and implications when organizations start using Cloud Sourcing.
