The Impact of ICT on Globalisation
Knowledge has become a large source of competitive advantage and it has increasingly become embedded in the production process itself. ... The success of globally networked companies such as Cisco or Toyota has increased the profile of ICT as an invaluable tool in the increased growth of whole economies and the developing world. ... The advances in ICT, oil all these functions and make the whole business machine run with more efficiently and with as little error as possible. ...
Companies, no matter how spread out they are over countries or the world, have now got the ability, thanks to ICT, to operate as one large entity. ... Since 2000 the UN has tried to harness the potential of ICT and aim it at developing countries, backed up by leadership training to complement the advantages of this resource. It has also tackled the problem of globalisation and interdependence by promoting development and coherence on economic issues at a global level. These developing countries have been left behind in the ICT revolution and it is the aim of the UN to rectify the situation. ...
Most of these issues where covered by the UN General Secretary, Coffi Annan, in his speech to the Millennium Assembly and to a meeting of the leading ICT experts at UN headquarters in April 2000. ... The exposure from this went to highlight the important role the UN has to play in bringing ICT globalisation to all nations. To implement this they set up an ICT task force.
The Global advantages of ICT are not just limited to money making companies, they also effect education, health services and even military operations.
