Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2011 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, grade: 2,3, Humboldt-University of Berlin (Internationales Management), language: English, abstract: In the current business world, corporations are dedicating continuously growing attention to matters of social and environmental engagement. As a result, various terminologies have appeared and gained much popularity in the field, such as ‘Corporate (Social) Responsibility’ and ‘Sustainability’. In the telecommunications industry, as in many other industries, the evolution of CR can be observed through the various instruments utilized by corporations to manage issues of responsibility towards stakeholders. Moreover, the industry offers a very interesting analysis possibility due to the recent growth of the industry and the importance of the analysis is further highlighted by nine telecommunications companies being represented in the DJSI (Dow Jones Sustainability Index) in 2006 and in 2007 whereas 65 companies participated in the Global Compact. Throughout this paper, sustainability management by telecommunications firms shall be analyzed more closely. The main aspects that shall be investigated are concerned with the governance structures introduced by telecommunications firms. In this light, the management of sustainability is perceived to take place at three levels within the organization. First, the level of corporate governance; which is mainly concerned with the individuals, departments and/or boards dealing with sustainability issues within the firm. The second level determines the areas that are addressed in the company’s strategy i.e. employees, customers, environment, etc. At last, the third level contains the specific tools and initiatives launched by each firm to implement its strategy in each area. The analysis shall be carried out by conducting a comparison between five major firms in the European market that are considered the most dominating ones: Telecom Italia, Telefònica, Vodafone, Deutsche Telekom and France Telecom. The impact of these firms on the industry is measured in terms of the respective market capitalization and market share in Europe. The fact that these companies are international players, cannot be ignored, but as their core business remains in their respective home countries (e.g. Telecom Italia generates 80 percent of their revenues in Italy) , the focus shall be on the domestic market operations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A "revolution" is taking place in the development of global information and communications technologies. In slightly more than a decade, the World Wide Web has gone from the idea of an obscure English scientist to a consumer-oriented technology system with an expected one billion users by 2005. The technologies that enable this to happen are advancing rapidly, which is leading to both an unprecedented number of start-up companies and a host of innovative new alliances between companies. The growth has been so rapid and unexpected that little research and analysis has yet been done on what impact this transformation has had or will have on the ability of companies to meet the global sustainability challenge. As environmental strategy has traditionally been portrayed in terms of risk cutting and resource efficiency, there is a danger that critical business issues such as information technology, R&D and e-commerce development are examined in isolation from the wider sustainable business perspective. An important objective of the book is to explore, document and raise awareness of sustainability concerns arising from the emerging global information economy. The information economy is defined in the broadest sense possible, including software, hardware, telecommunication – traditional and wireless – and advanced communication technologies. Some of the key issues and questions that are examined include:Case studies on how and to what degree sustainability concerns are being integrated into the business model of electronic, telecommunication and dot.com firms. The relationship between the diffusion of information and communication technologies and the energy and resource intensity of companies. The role of information and communication technologies in the shaping of policies for sustainability, its impacts on sustainable or unsustainable lifestyles and its implications for the interaction between companies and other actors. Corporations and the global digital divide. The Ecology of the New Economy will be of interest to academics, governments, businesses, and non-governmental groups who are trying to understand the linkages and relationship between the two of our greatest global challenges: the information revolution and environmental sustainability.

Download or read book Information and Communication Technologies for Sustainable Tourism written by Alisha Ali and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-05-07 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sustainable development is a highly topical issue and is of critical importance to tourism as the environment is of utmost importance for the continued development and prosperity of the industry. There have been numerous texts written on sustainable tourism and the measures to mitigate and manage this but none which acknowledges Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) as a mechanism of doing so despite being an emerging area of research. ICT in this context refers to innovative tools which form an integrated system of software and networked equipment that facilitates data processing information sharing communication and the ability to search and select from an existing range of products and services for an organisation’s benefits. Despite the symbiotic relationship, which exists between ICT and sustainable tourism, there has been little research, which has considered how the use of such technology can be used to make sustainable tourism development a more workable reality. This opportune book is the first to provide a focus on the interrelationship of these two important topics demonstrating their synergies and providing insight into a new and innovative approach to managing sustainable tourism development. It considers the use of technology to reduce the negative impacts of tourism from both the demand and supply side perspectives. A critical review of a range of cutting edge technologies used by tourists and businesses to assess their usefulness in managing sustainable tourism development from the macro to the micro level is also discussed. It further integrates examples and practical applications to show how ICT can be an invaluable mechanism in the management of sustainable tourism development. This cutting-edge volume provides a wealth of information on an important yet neglected subject. This book will be invaluable reading for students, researchers, academics and members of the tourism industry looking for new and innovate ways of fostering a more sustainable tourism industry.

Increased in the number of networks together with high expectation of consumers for quality services have brought about a very keen competition in the industry. There has been a lot of rivalry from the various competitors such as MTN, Vodafone, Tigo, Zain, and Kasapa. There is the continuous switching or defecting of customers from one network to the other if one's service is deemed as less quality. It is easier for Telecommunication providers to acquire customers but are they really satisfied with their offerings in order to be retained overtime?

Download or read book Information and Communication Technology for Sustainable Development written by Cesar Marolla and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2018-11-13 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Information and Communication Technology for Sustainable Development shows how ICT, as an enabler for all spheres of development, can help innovate business processes and operations, and provide faster integration of new technologies into business systems. Focused on sustainability, the book addresses strategic approaches to cope with a range of climatic, environmental, cyber-security threats and other global risks, and aims to promote prosperity and economic growth. Furthermore, it explores how the adoption of new technologies, and collective action based upon a strategic behavioral theory of new leadership, can be applied when responding to specific set of conditions that allow for the proposed strategies to cope with risks. Information technology and strategic planning complement each other to attain the sustainable development goals (SDGs). Risk management frameworks, business continuity systems, and strategic planning methodologies such as mechanism design theory, strategic adaptive cognition (SAC), and risk mechanism theory (RMT) are the fundamental components needed to have a universal approach embedded into the national development plans agenda. As technology no longer follows an orderly, linear path, but improves exponentially, developing a strategic approach to ICT implementation help world leaders in the difficult but inspiring task of making a sustainable world and consequently find solutions to achieve the SDGs and the desired growth pattern that must be sustained, inclusive and equitable. Features: Discusses for the first time the potential of ICT as a transformative power in finding solutions to climatic and economic issues. Illustrates comprehensive strategic planning for leaders to implement in both public and private organizations. Integrates standards and frameworks in the context of sustainable development along with the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Describes in detail how mechanism design, risk management, business continuity systems, a comprehensive strategic planning using SAC (Strategic Adaptive Cognition) and risk mechanism theory can be used to address environmental risks and attain sustainable development goals (SDGs). Explains eHealth as an adaptation strategy to address future changes in climate and impacts, and the links between mitigation and adaptation to ICTs.
