Geva Perry, formerly from Gigaspaces, has written a nice post in response to a question posted by a Harvard Business School professor on Twitter. Prof. McAfee asked the following question

to know about? Should I cover it in my MBA course this semester?
Geva Perry says an emphatic yes and then goes on to explain why it should be included in the courses for non IT business executives. He starts off with

In conclusion, cloud computing is a game-changer, both technologically
and business-wise and wise business execs should understand the forces
that will impact their industry. So Professor McAfee, please teach your
students about Cloud Computing.
