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 domin

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.

This book was released on 2008-04-30 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A little more than 3 billion people have access to basic mobile telephony, with 48% living close to or below the poverty line. These people, the so-called ‘mass market’, lack access to basic communications technology. An ongoing issue facing communications providers is how to facilitate and promote communications access to those who live in rural areas of developing economies. The authors utilize their considerable ‘hands on’ experience of working in successful telecommunications companies in order to address the challenges of creating, facilitating and maintaining sustainable telecommunications growth in developing nations. With this focus in mind the authors present a snapshot of these countries through real life case studies. Sustainable Telecoms Growth in Developing Economies: Presents innovative and sustainable business models to address telecommunications adoption in developing countries. Identifies the inherent drivers and barriers in the mass-market adoption of mobile services in developing economies. Discusses the impact and importance of telecoms in developing nations including customer needs and Internet-based services. Highlights the current state of communications in such markets.

Download or read book Wireless written by Brian J.W. Regli and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-07-24 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The revolution of wireless communications has only just begun to transform the telecommunications industry worldwide. This book offers insight into the possible options for corporate strategists and government policymakers as they look to harness the expansion of wireless communications to meet the goals of sustainable telecommunications development. Using a multidisciplinary approach which combines policy research, legal analysis, business economics, and models of sustainability from the environmental sciences, the book compares the development of wireless communications in four countries: the United States, the United Kingdom, Russia, and Brazil. The comparative analysis points to common themes and opportunities, including: * breaking down the barriers between wireless and wireline access by changing the regulatory design which constrains service providers; * targeting the development potential of wireless access through the utilization of new technologies and service models; and * using wireless access as the basis for full facilities-based competition in both developing and developed world markets. No other book today offers this broad a context for a discussion of wireless communications and its potential impact on the evolution of the telecommunications industry.

This book was released on 2010-01-01 with total page 528 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Business of Sustainability is a core resource for policy makers, members of the development community, entrepreneurs, and corporate executives, as well as business and economics students and their professors. It contains rich analysis of how sustainability is being factored into industries across the globe, with enlightening case studies of businesses serving as agents of change. Contributing authors provide a groundbreaking body of research-based knowledge. They explain that the concept of sustainability is being re-framed to be positive about business instead of being tied to the old notion of a trade-off between business and society (that is, if business wins, society and the environment must lose), and they explore how economic development can contribute to building our common future.

Download or read book The Ecology of the New Economy written by Jacob Park and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-09-08 with total page 332 pages. 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 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.
