Анотация:

The revolution in business conduct in today’s digital networked world, demonstrates that telecommunications and Internet-based technologies and software systems have bypassed the point of being essential ingredients and facilitators of business activities; they are much more like a catalyst of fundamental changes in the strategic structure, operations and management of organizations. In a global business environment, telecommunication technologies and Internet-based systems enable businesses to overcome barriers of time, space, and distance and enable them to enhance the communication and collaboration not only among employees but also among business partners. Today's managers, entrepreneurs, and knowledge professionals must have a comprehensive insight of the evolving telecommunications world that shapes business conduct and innovation and know how to use and manage a variety of telecommunication technologies and software systems to revitalize business processes, improve managerial decision making, reduce costs, improve productivity, enhance employee and customer relationships and satisfaction, and gain competitive advantage.
