Telecommunications in Global Business
Telecommunication is essential to success within global organizations. The ability to communicate across the world instantly is a major factor to success. Sharing data between different departments of an organization aids in making managerial decisions. “Telecommunications and network technologies are revolutionizing business and society. Business have become networked enterprises. The Internet, the Web, and intranets and extranets are networking business processes and employees together and connecting them to their customers, suppliers, and other business stakeholders.” (Marakas & O’Brien, 2012, p. 231).
Telecommunication is not limited to the internet but can involve intranets for organizations that need to keep their data secure. Governments and private research facilities stress the need for privacy and security. There is a clear advantage in the use of telecommunication. Organizations that neglect to invest in the advances in telecommunication fall behind swiftly. As we research the different avenues of telecommunication and the organizations that use them, we expect to discover a clear difference in the sheer size and profitability or success of these organizations.
