Written Assignment 1: IT Infrastructure and Globalization

Technology has been at the forefront of globalization, making certain tools accessible to anyone, at any time, for any reason. The employee, vendor, or manager is no longer required to be in a specific place. People can be updated via texting, instant messaging, and email, and have access to virtual meeting tools.

The cloud has changed the very nature of business, and what was once difficult or impossible to do is now made very simple. It has made things more convenient in a hectic and fast-paced world. From supply chain management to meetings, to separate divisions, to employee management, the cloud has helped to facilitate the global structures that companies now embrace.

Compose a paper on the ethical considerations that globalization, through the use of the cloud, has had on businesses, employees, and countries.
