It is clear from the passage that, for a firm to operate globally, ----.
A growing percentage of the American economy
and of other advanced industrial economies in
Europe and Asia depends on imports and exports.
Foreign trade, both exports and imports, accounts
for a little over 25 per cent of the goods and
services produced in the United States, and even
more in countries such as Japan and Germany.
This percentage will grow in the future. The
success of firms today and in the future depends
on their ability to operate globally. Globalization of
the world's industrial economies greatly enhances
the value of information to the firm and offers new
opportunities to businesses. Today, information
systems provide the communication and analytic
power that firms need for conducting trade and
managing businesses on a global scale.
Controlling the far-flung global corporation, which
includes communicating with distributors and
suppliers, operating 24 hours a day in different
national environments and servicing local as well
as international reporting needs, is a major
business challenge that requires powerful
information system responses. Globalization and
information technology also bring new threats to
domestic business firms: because of global
communication and management systems,
customers now can shop in a worldwide
marketplace, obtaining price and quality information
reliably, 24 hours a day. This phenomenon
heightens competition and forces firms to play in
open, unprotected worldwide markets. To become
effective and profitable participants in international
markets, firms need powerful information and
communication systems.
