"Communication is fundamental to any form of organizing but is preeminent in virtual organizations. Virtual organizations are characterized by (a) highly dynamic processes, (b) contractual relationships among entities, (c) edgeless, permeable boundaries, and (d) reconfigurable structures. Relative to more traditional settings, communication processes that occur in virtual contexts are expected to be rapid, customized, temporary, greater in volume, more formal, and more relationship-based. To glean insight into communication processes for virtual organizations, we draw on the rich body of literature on synchronous and asynchronous electronic organizational communication. The vast set of empirical findings regarding mediated communication can foreshadow how communication will change as firms "go virtual." Six areas of electronic communication research provide implications for the major aspects of virtual organization design: (1) communication volume and efficiency, (2) message understanding, (3) virtual tasks, (4) lateral communication, (5) norms of technology use, and (6) evolutionary effects.

"Business communication involves any kind of communication that foster strong partnerships, promote products or services, as well as relay information within a particular organization. It is imperative therefore that communications should be done clearly, efficiently, and accurately because it can have a great impact on a company's reputation and credibility, and will definitely say a lot about its level of professionalism. There are many types of business communication, including electronic communication, employment communication, verbal and non-verbal communication, as well as written communication and all these must be done properly in order to reap good results."

Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP, Voice over IP) is a general term for a family of methodologies, communication protocols, and transmission technologies for delivery of voice communications and multimedia sessions over Internet Protocol (IP) networks, such as the Internet. Other terms frequently encountered and synonymous with VoIP are IP telephony, Internet telephony, voice over broadband (VoBB), broadband telephony, and broadband phone. Internet telephony refers to communications services - voice, facsimile, and/or voice-messaging applications - that are transported via the Internet, rather than the public switched telephone network (PSTN). The basic steps involved in originating an Internet telephone call are conversion of the analog voice signal to digital format and compression/translation of the signal into Internet protocol (IP) packets for transmission over the Internet; the process is reversed at the receiving end.[1] VoIP systems employ session control protocols to control the set-up and tear-down of calls as well as audio codecs which encode speech allowing transmission over an IP network as digital audio via an audio stream. Codec use is varied between different implementations of VoIP (and often a range of codecs are used); some implementations rely on narrowband and compressed speech, while others support high fidelity stereo codecs.

"There are some special rules that apply to communicating virtually. The most important is to remember that you are communicating with real people, not a computer. Don't spam. That is, don't send unsolicited e-mail. Remember that the Internet is a pull system, where people can request information, rather than one where you send them information without being asked. A wise person once suggested you treat the Internet like a foreign culture; study it for a month or more, as an anthropologist would, before you participate. Using this example, it would also be advisable to strongly consider cultural differences of the people with whom we communicate. This entails avoiding profanity and slurs or criticisms against any group of people. It means respecting differences and striving for political correctness in all forms of communication and action. The CD-ROM "Information Literacy Toolkit" provides definitions of legal considerations included in dealing with virtual communications. Below are some ethical considerations for handling them. As with security considerations, ethics in dealing with material handled via virtual communication is rooted in traditional communications. That which applies to the paper world also applies in the virtual world. The fact that information is easily available does not remove traditional requirements for attribution, for the avoidance of plagiarism or for the appropriate use the information. The anonymity provided by the ability to surf and search a large number of documents provides a temptation to use material in an unauthorized way. This temptation must be avoided. The same browsing tools that allow wide access also provide a tool for proper attribution. The writer may simply insert a link (URL) to direct the reader to the source of the information cited. Privacy should be safeguarded and observed. Those who control their own information should establish systems to keep information that they do not want disclosed protected. Owners of

"To evaluate the current status of communication and fundraising strategies on the Internet, a stratified random sample of the Chronicle of Philanthropy's Philanthropy 400 was content-analyzed in mid-January 2005. Web sites were coded on variables identified in practitioner and scholarly literature on issues of accountability, fundraising practices, and interactive communication strategies. Chi-square analysis found that the top nonprofit organizations included copies of their annual reports, organizational goals, and mission statements, while second-tier organizations were more likely to use a sales approach by using e-commerce technology and terminology to process online donations."

Definition and examples of globalization

Definition of globalization: "Globalization (or globalisation) describes a process by which regional economies, societies, and cultures have become integrated through a global network of communication, transportation, and trade. The term is sometimes used to refer specifically to economic globalization: the integration of national economies into the international economy through trade, foreign direct investment, capital flows, migration, and the spread of technology.[1] However, globalization is usually recognized as being driven by a combination of economic, technological, sociocultural, political, and biological factors."

Globalization refers to the increasing unification of the world's economic order through reduction of such barriers to international trade as tariffs, export fees, and import quotas. The goal is to increase material wealth, goods, and services through an international division of labor by efficiencies catalyzed by international relations, specialization and competition. It describes the process by which regional economies, societies, and cultures have become integrated through communication, transportation, and trade.
