Abstract

The new era of information technologies is referring to the globalization of communication. The quick decrease of the communication costs enhanced the dealings among countries and is a vital foundation for the structure of a stronger universal civil society. In today’s technology-driven world, industry standardization, device interoperability, and product compatibility have turned out to be vital to advancing innovation and competition. The technologies and virtual places that represent cyberspace have been assimilated into the lives of people who accept the Internet as a tool for pursuing their common, real-world needs. E-government brings the government closer to citizens, defeating the barriers of bureaucracy, reducing corruption, and making decision-makers more reactive to people’s needs, which means that e-services of e-government are characterized by greater efficiency and transparency.

G Zekos, Internet or Electronic Technology: A Threat to State Sovereignty, JILT 1999 (3) https://warwick.ac.uk/fac/soc/law/elj/jilt/1999_3/zekos/ “The Internet cannot have a main control center nor can any single entity monopolize the abundant variety of information freely accessible on the Internet which does not mean a thread to sovereignty. Besides, in general, advanced electronic technology can be used in order to paralyze an inferior technology of a state and therefore threatening practically its sovereignty. In other words, the Internet does not simply erode sovereignty, but its effect will depend on the nature of the actions involved and thus the Internet may strengthen democratic practice. A democratic and open character of the Internet limits the possibilities of authoritarian and monopoly control. Besides, the global market has the power to discipline national governments. The commercialization of the Internet might end up as concentrated power. At present, there is no purely digital economy. The Globalization together with the digitalization of financial markets has made these markets a powerful presence. Private digital networks rather than the Internet have the power to neutralize sovereignty. Hence, a shift of some components of the state's sovereignty over to other entities carries the potential to limit sovereignty but may not be the elimination rather than a partial relocation to supra national institutions. In the end, it could be argued that the inapplicability of the theory of absolute territorial sovereignty could be supported rather than the death of the state.”

Global purchasing synergies can be divided into three categories • Economies of information and learning: sharing all available purchasing knowledge on suppliers, new technologies, markets, internal users, applications, the prevention of mutually incompatible negotiating strategies, the prevention of affiliates from depriving one another of the limited available resources in times of scarcity, etc. • Economies of process: establishing a common way of working thereby showing worldwide one line of con-duct to suppliers, benchmarking procedures and results, and joint training and development • Economies of scale: pooling volumes to enforce purchasing power, reducing the number of global suppliers, standardization, and synchronizing requirements.

Bartlett, and S. Ghoshal eds., Irwin, Chicago, IL, 1995, pp 638–649. Quelch and Hoff suggest five approaches ranging from very low to extreme centralization. They are (1) information sharing among local executives (stimulating word-of-mouth); (2) friendly persuasion by headquarters; (3) global coordination, whereby headquarters has a structured role in both decision-making and performance evaluation (often using a matrix or team approach); (4) “stamped and approved” (i.e., a properly managed approval system); and (5) directing or “doing it the headquarter’s way.”
