公司在採用雲端運算之下的競爭優勢和資源配置

Abstract

基於雲計算的發展前途的技術，近年來，商業計算資源服務（如Amazon）或軟件作為一種服務產品（如Salesforce.com）誕生。越來越多的大牌高科技企業擺脫其傳統業務雲計算業務（如Microsoft, Google, Dell, HP, IBM ...）。然而，相對薄弱的商業開發，參與，和通過其他雲計算服務仍是主要挑戰。以往的研究上的競爭優勢和優越的性能表明，財務比率包含足夠的信息來確定哪些資源配置最密切相關的性能。在本研究中，我們要找出哪些現行資源配置和其產生的影響競爭優勢。因為我們無法直接觀察該公司的管理能力，在本研究中，我們創建了一個框架，以提供簡單的原則，研究管理能力。從比較財務分析，我們認為，知識管理能力是至關重要的性能雲計算業務。

Based on the promising developments in Cloud Computing technologies in recent years, commercial computing resource services (e.g. Amazon) or software-as-a-service offerings (e.g. Salesforce.com) came into existence. More and more big name of high tech firms move from their traditional business to Cloud Computing business (e.g. Microsoft, Google, Dell, HP, IBM…). However, the relatively weak business exploitation, participation, and adoption of other Cloud Computing services remain the main challenges. Previous studies on competitive advantage and superior performance have demonstrated that financial ratios contain enough information to identify those resource configurations most strongly correlated with performance. In this research, we want to find out which current resource configuration and their impacts on competitive advantage. Because we could not directly observe the firm’s management capabilities, in this research, we create a framework to provide simple principle to examine the management capabilities. From comparative financial analysis, we conclude that that knowledge management capability is critical to performance of Cloud computing business.
