To that end, the book employs principal-agent theory and the concepts of bounded rationality and social embeddedness. Beyond advancing IS research, the findings presented can greatly benefit governments, IT departments and IT providers, helping them to better understand cloud service relationships and to adjust their cloud service strategies accordingly. 000771450 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed Sept. 3, 2014). 000771450 650_0 $$aCloud computing$$xManagement. 000771450 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aHuntgeburth, Jan.$$tDeveloping and Evaluating a Cloud Service Relationship Theory.$$dDordrecht : Springer, ©2014$$z9783319102795 000771450 830_0 $$aProgress in IS. 000771450 85280 $$bebk$$hSpringerLink 000771450 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-319-10280-1$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000771450 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:771450$$pGLOBAL_SET 000771450 980__ $$aEBOOK 000771450 980__ $$aBIB 000771450 982__ $$aEbook 000771450 983__ $$aOnline 000771450 994__ $$a92$$bISE
