Abstract: Abstract Cloud computing has become a disruptive technology in recent years which brings numerous benefits to enterprises; however, as any other technology it is accompanied with some risks. Firms can achieve competitive advantage if they simultaneously explore new opportunity and exploit their existing knowledge and capabilities through investing on cloud computing. However, cloud computing risks can hamper these abilities. Applying the ambidexterity theoretical lens, we have provided evidence that potential cloud computing risks play a significant role on firms’ performance in two integral aspects of explorative and exploitative innovation. To address this objectives, fuzzy VIKOR technique has been deployed in which the fuzzy approach helps experts to express their opinion using linguistic variables and VIKOR technique ranks cloud computing risks considering ambidexterity criteria. The results show that how each cloud computing risk can disable firms from achieving innovative performance.
