</span><span style="font-size:12.0pt">IT outsourcing and its variants including cloud computing and
<i>Software as a Service</i> (SaaS) have become widely accepted business practices to manage and operate a variety of IT infrastructures, gain access to latest technologies as needed, and bring about radical changes in how organizations leverage IT for delivering
concrete business value. With the trends of globalization and IT as a utility available over the Internet continuing to grow unabated, various types of sourcing models have begun to emerge. As a prominent example, cloud computing and SaaS offer various sourcing
arrangements through the Internet delivery of IT products and services, providing firms an opportunity to gain access to and deliver applications, infrastructures, and platforms over public or private networks. Specifically, to tap innovation and growth opportunities,
firms are transitioning to an on-demand model of IT sourcing enabled by cloud computing and SaaS to create increased flexibility and enhance their ability to scale. These emerging alternatives create challenges for both service provider and recipient organizations
as they have to take into account a number of new additional considerations, such as variable hardware capacity needs and multiple and varying user application preferences, to be able to successfully leverage these new sourcing alternatives and manage their
new sourcing relationships with their partners. While the development of IT outsourcing, cloud computing, and SaaS happened independently, they have become intricately intertwined and should be considered as a set of viable sourcing options while formulating
and executing IT sourcing strategy.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">We invite papers that provide insights into all aspects of IT sourcing, cloud computing, and SaaS. In particular, we are also interested in papers that tie the developments of these
sourcing models to broader IT strategy issues in firms. Papers that include empirical, analytical, and conceptual approaches that develop or extend theory are welcome. Co-authored papers with practitioners are particularly encouraged.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
