Driven by the promise of cost savings and improved service quality, cloudsourcing has evolved into the largest segment of the global outsourcing market. In practice, however, managing cloudsourcing projects poses a major challenge, as they often turn into complex, multi-year endeavors requiring frequent adjustments to both the cloud service and the contract in response to new objectives. This study develops and investigates the idea that, in this adjustment process, the outsourcing contract and the software artifact are closely intertwined.
