About

ANR CBOD – Cloud Based Organizational Designs (Design Organisationnel Basé sur le Cloud) is a project of the 2013 edition of the research programme  « Sociétés Innovantes » funded by Agence Nationale de la Recherche (ANR), the french main research funding agency.

This project, inscribed in fundamental research, but with applicability in real world settings, aims at developing the management and IS community knowledge on cloud computing, from an organizational and business point of view.

Although Cloud Computing appears as a pervasive and disruptive technology promising to have a major impact on information systems in organizations, this topic has scantly been analysed in IS research until now and mainly from a technical perspective. Given the importance and the depth of changes brought by this trend of “cloudification” of IS in organizations, it seems important for both managers and IS researchers to increase their understanding of this phenomenon, in order to help organizations benefit from this new technological trend, and in particular comprehend in a more holistic way the different dimensions that are involved in the design and the operation of cloud-based IS.

This project will consist in elaborating a variety of means that will make significantly simpler the elaboration, the decision and the evaluation of cloud-based solutions from information system management and business point of view, and able to accommodate the need for an holistic approach.
