Abstract

The objective of this section is to present the reader with the effects of mobile devices on the individual chief executive officer (CEO), interpersonal relationships, and culture. Changes in practice occur using mobile devices. Knowledge workers and CEOs are considered one and the same. Through latent variable factor analysis, components emerge. Component 1 is absorbing information. Other factors also occurred such as cognition and intellect, reflection and learning, adaptations of learning and mobile devices, learning through problem solving, serendipity as an enhancement tool, and the process of serendipity compared to other actions. The chapter guides the reader to important areas of interest such as collective learning and face-to-face interactions, accessibility to knowledge traders and learning by hiring, and paradigm shifts within the context of mobile devices.
