1. What benefits can you see from networking your branch offices and headquarters together? One of the main benefit of networking the businesses computers and information is that business processes are speeded up and inefficiencies are squeezed out. This is because information flows more freely. Everything happens much faster. All kinds of documents - from emails to spreadsheets and product specs - can be exchanged rapidly between networked users. In the Special Salmon case, the headquarters can update the different varieties of fish, prices for each type of fish, quantity demanded and quantity supplied for each type of fish on its internal network daily. As such, all these information will be made available to all branch offices at different times of the day. Employees at the branch offices will be able to check the Web pages to track the fish's progress - in real-time. In addition, the communication between employees, customers and suppliers can be improved. This is because clients could communicate via email and receive accounting updates electronically. Networking can also have a tremendous flattening effect on an organisation as in the salmon case, too. For example, the traditional hierarchy is sidestepped at every turn by the seekers and providers of information. Anyone who drew their power from their ability to supply or withhold information will find the networked world immensely threatening to their personal authority. Therefore, it is beneficial to network the branch offices and headquarters together. 2. What benefits can you see from data communications linkages between headquarters and Special Salmon fishing boats? One of the benefits of data communication linkages headquarters and Special Salmon fishing boats is that the fishing boats can provide emergency signaling to the headquarters. In this case, the safety of the fisherman in the fishing boats will be maximized whenever they are out at sea fishing. Besides, through data communication linkages, the headquarters will be able to inform the fishing boats for a specific type of fish immediately when there is a high demand for that specific species. On the other hand, the headquarters can also inform the fisherman to avoid catching the type of fish that has a low demand in the market.
