Introduction
This project seeks to discuss the application of information technology in enhancing communication, in the global workplace. Information technology has become a catalyst in facilitating the efficiency of the workforce in the global platform. In this section, I will introduce the topic and discuss its relevance for the study. I will provide the background information concerning information technology as a facilitator of communication in the global workplace. In this section also, the current and status of information technology use will be discussed. This will help in understanding why the problem statement was presented the way it is when selecting the topic of the projects. The background information is necessary to show the importance of studying the project. Justification of the project allows the reader to understand the importance of carrying out the study in the field of information technology. It provides the relevance of discussing such critical issues that will be helpful in implementing technology in a global workplace. The objectives and research questions will easily be justified by the information presented in this section.
Literature Review
Information technology is a diverse concept and many scholars have put an effort in discussing its relevance in the modern world business management. In this section, studies done on the relationship between information technology and communication in the workplace by various researchers will be reviewed. Sources of the literatures to be reviewed will be from the academic journals and articles, books, on-line databases, articles in periodicals, web resources and reports touching on the topic of information technology and communication in the global workplace. The approach that will be taken when reviewing the literature will heavily depend on the close relationship of the studies and the topic of the projects. An example is the book authored by Stephen A. Beebe which discusses the relationship about professional communication and business. Another example of literature that will be discussed is the report by Deloitte which discusses the importance preparedness for future change in the workplace. Any relevant theory will be included in this section of the project.
This section will describe the methods that will be used in the collection of data needed in answering the research questions. This project seeks to employ the descriptive research approach. The major purpose of descriptive research design is to describe the state of affairs as it is at present. In this project, I intend to collect data and information from secondary sources concerning. The target population is the multinational companies that have implemented information technology as a way to enhance communication in their workplace.
Data Presentation, Analysis and Interpretation
In this section, I will present the analysis and findings of the research. I will describe the qualitative techniques adopted to analyse and present the research findings. The analysis will be based on the objective of the study which is to identify the benefits and challenges facing multinational firms in implementing information technology, in an effort to enhance communication in their global workforce. Relative information will be presented by graphs and charts in order to give a clear picture of the outcome of the research.
Summary, Conclusion and Recommendations
This section will summarize the learning outcome from the results of the study. I will also discuss the achievements and challenges that arose from the undertaking of the project. Achievement of the objectives of identifying the benefits of information technology use in the global workplace will be explained in this section. Based on the project outcome, I will offer recommendations on how to enhance communicate in the global workplace by implementing information technology. This section will also list the future work that I would like to pursue which I was unable to do during the project activity.
