Abstract
Globalization infrastructure Global information systems infrastructure is becoming one of the important strategies for any company plans to achieve the success in the business market. For example, a famous successful business such as Amazon website, which designed in the U.S. has to ensure that their computer hardware, software, electronics, connecting to the internet, communications technology, e-commerce and all kinds of e-services are appropriate for international customers. So a major factor complicating the issue of IS development and its success is the globalization of companies. In this paper I will illustrate the major processes of designing, developing, and implementing global information systems. In addition declare

Secondly is the design of the solutions, in this step the company have to create an interface and local gateway configuration, working with different levels of functionality, delay indefinitely, develop with a few committed participants, highly centralized technical solutions and consider phased design. Our example SAP have observe that they have to delay indefinitely to acquire the customer need to avoid any error for the other support companies, avoid the loss of autonomy, and to get enough time to study all project sides, in addition, they design common interface which support a different level of functionality. Also they are working to develop with a few committed participants and highly centralized technical solutions. So mostly this step is the most difficult between all steps and the correct design of the GIS strategy will achieve the success for the global information system for the company and that’s why SAP since they put in them account the future expand and technology development. Moreover, the implementation and development stages which perform based on the design stage. Final step is building and development (coding, testing and maintain) the strategy of GIS which focusing on …show more content…
Let’s take Microsoft as an example of the success GII and illustrate how the global information infrastructure for the company is supporting the design, development and implementation of GIS processes. Since all three process have many challenges while it apply these processes, the GII component will support the GIS for the company through the GII components. First component is the technical one, the technical components will support the design process. Let’s take two challenges which make problems for the design process. First challenge was the diversity of systems, the GII solved this issue through design a common interface getaway for all service and consider different levels of functionality to acquire all the company services aspects another design challenge is different abilities of participants, the technical component of GII supported using consider phased design. Second component is the people, as an example is no technology to build a system to satisfy identified needs at level of the GIS and it solved through the people component at GII when they delay the identification and increase the study of new challenges. The implementation processes also supported by the process component through applying infrastructure

Using coordinates or simple objectives allows the ability to make proper determination. Geographic data allows identifiable information to be offered to subscribers with the encouragement of geographical indicators. Display tools offer a realism of visual effects and the most applicable advantages. Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing, spatial statics and Geographic Information Systems (GIS): Systems of these nature offer geographers collaborative and analyzed information far more unique than traditional research techniques (Geographic Information Systems as an Integrating Technology: Context, Concepts, and Definitions,2015). Lastly, geographic reality and space relation must be gathered using input and output of data and formulaic sequences, but the tools make them applicable to user.
For example, a data warehouse can be constructed to extract and consolidate data from various computer systems or a workflow management system can be used to coordinate activities across several offices such as who works on what activity and how long it takes them to complete a task. Another way to shorten the close process is to centralize all accounting operations in one location. This allows the company to concentrate all of its efforts on improving the efficiency of a single
GIS is more efficient than drawing a map by hand. 4. Each type of information can be stored in a layer. 5.
Globalization is a process of interaction and integration among the people, companies, and governments of different nations, a process driven by international trade and investment and aided by information technology. This process has effects on the environment, on culture, on political systems, on economic development and prosperity, and on human physical well-being in societies around the world. The most common example of globalization might be Ebay or Amazon. Nowadays flows of goods and services are not only cheap and fast, but reliable and secure.
Does Catatech currently have a sustainable competitive advantage? Why/why not? Catatech currently does not have a sustainable competitive advantage. This is so because they still have that old school mentality regarding business.

The process of globalization has a major effect in the changing world. Globalization have two main drivers which is economic institution and information technology. There is a rapid change in technology as well as knowledge therefore for organizations to be competitive in the global market they need to be familiar with new
Question1 Explain the advantages and disadvantages of Henry Mintzberg’s prescriptive schools of strategy Design school The process of conception is using the major idea of SWOT which divided into two sides; internal (strength and weakness) and external (opportunity and threat) factors. Social responsibility and Managerial values also play a role in the formulation of the strategy. When the four factors is analyzed, the next step is creation of strategy which is suitable to organization and final stage is implementation follow by that strategy. Advantages: -Separate the step between design strategy and implementation clearly
Introduction Nowadays people can communicate easily. They can share their ideas, their cultures even with people who are not in their countries. They can trade, transporting products around the world in just a few days. This is a big economy where everything related to each other. This is globalization.
Globalization and Nation States Globalization has integrated and intertwined the economies of the world. In the world today, every nation has become independent on every other nation, be it through trade or through finance. Developing countries today are attracting large rounds of foreign investment, and this foreign investment is coming from the developed countries. Thus, the money of the developed countries is today invested in the developing countries.
In this section the author describes the theories that will support the analysis of information. In order to construct a theoretical background for the study the author chose to describe theories regarding the selection of countries. 5.1 Transaction costs theory Transaction cost theory was developed by Coase (1937) and then re-analyzed by Williamson (1979). The theory explains why companies exist and expand their activities to external environments finding out that ‘’A Transaction cost occurs when a good or service is transferred across a technologically separable interface’’.
A global technology services (GTS) part, a software part, a global business services (GBS) part, a global financing part and systems and technology part are the larger activities of the company. IBM competes with many IT companies like Infosys, Microsoft,
It is important to emphasize that these challenges were brought about by poorly defined goals and the scope was usually unclear. This meant the projects usually tended to go beyond the estimates as the project developers tried to fix newly developed ideas in to the development process. the phase gate model was developed to give an outline of the project development process to offer solutions for managing newly launched
The aim of this assessment is to reflect on what I have learned this semester regarding the module of Business in Global Context; from the lectures with the professor, the case studies done in class and the three previous patchworks that we worked on. We have learned that there are different internal and external components that affect the business environment, from corporate social responsibility to cultural and institutional framework; organizations must take into consideration all the factors related to the different parts of its environment. For the topic discussion, I will be discussing globalization and how it has affected the global business environment along with the key aspects and the different point of views regarding it.
