Within our digital environment cloud computing seems to be a perfect way to be used as the primary tool for the management of information and knowledge inside a company. Major benefits of cloud computing are that the cloud services can be accessed at any time and from any place with every network enabling device. This leads towards much more flexibility within workflows and can improve the time management of a company remarkably, ultimately leading to an increase of the company\u2019s overall performance. Examples like the pharmaceutical company Pfizer show how much a company is able to benefit from this new technology.

Afterwards I will discuss the implementation of cloud services within companies and analyse the factors that are responsible for its successful application, using case studies as well as leadership and employee motivational theories.<\/p>\n
