Technology has changed the way businesses operate as we are used to it. Technology has helped companies of all sizes, from basic tools such as the calculator to more complex systems that enable global communication. While it may seem impossible to imagine an existence without these advances but they’ve come with additional risks, including hacking and other malicious actions that could cause disruption to business operations. This is the reason it is so important for companies to comprehend and make use of these tools in a responsible way.
Businesses today employ various tools and technologies to streamline processes, help employees and customers. Countless softwares are available that automate daily tasks such as recording and data collection. These tools can also be employed to calculate vacation days and track employee attendance. They also calculate monthly salaries. In addition, cloud technology allows businesses to store and access data stored on third party servers over the internet instead of purchasing and maintaining expensive physical infrastructure.
Digital technologies are also transforming international business (IB). Digital platforms allow firms to provide IB services, including production, purchasing logistics, marketing, and communications – across national boundaries. This allows companies to disintermediate processes by shifting costs and operations away from their operations and onto their clients, complementors and other stakeholders at the home and abroad.
The IB community has long recognized the importance of these developments and has developed a variety of strategies to help facilitate their acceptance. However, IB is still grappling with the issues that come with these new capabilities.
