Then discussed cloud computing would be adopted by the four organizational culture types and list the advantages of cloud computing.                Keywords: cloud computing, business environment, organizational culture types, advantageThe World-Changing ModeCloud ComputingDefinition. The concept of “cloud computing” is based on Distributed Computing, Parallel Computing, and Grid Computing. The “cloud computing” working principle could be easily understand as it uses the internet divided the huge computer processors in to countless small subprograms automatically, after resource search and analysis, the cloud computing will send the feedback to the users. From NIST definition[see NIST],  “Cloud computing is a model for enabling convenient, on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources (e.g., networks, servers, storage, applications, and services) that can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort or service provider interaction.”[pic 1]History.
