Abstract:
The emergence of Cloud Computing has led to a revolution within the field of Information Systems due to the benefits of the pay-per-use model as a powerful source of increased competitiveness. One of the factors that have conferred the most impetus to this type of Cloud service is the reduction of costs. The aim of this study is to compile information on the most relevant studies considering the other key factor in the development of these solutions: the impact that Cloud Computing has had on Firm Performance wherever it has been implemented. For this purpose, the most productive and influential sources were identified, analyzing data from the general Web of Science Database until the year 2023. In this way, authors, countries, entities, and journals with the highest levels of productivity and influence were identified, and the most relevant and influential papers were determined. The final objective of this study was to open a line of research that is built from the conclusions of the most relevant and influential sources of information in this field of study. The main takeaway of this study is the increasing interest that researchers have in the interrelation between Cloud Computing and Firm Performance, identifying the most relevant and influential sources of information that may help future researchers develop this research line. As a general conclusion, this study shows that the most productive and influential authors, institutions and sources are based in India, China and the United States.
