Global Communications Gap Analysis
There are risks with any business venture. The marketplace is so unstable that a company that seems to be flourishing one day can fold in a short period of time. It is important for management and/or leadership to stay abreast of any technological advances, new services, etc. in order to remain competitive. Simply keeping up with the competition will no longer provide the results needed to secure a place in industry. Top companies tend to have a creative edge that separates them from their competition.
With the continual advent of new telecommunications services and technologies, the telecommunications industry is becoming increasingly competitive. Cable companies, able to provide customers with complete communications solutions, have taken a great deal of business from the telecommunications industry. And although Global Communications was, as recently as three years ago, thriving with stocks trading for $28 per share, this company has also fallen prey to the competition.
In response to the financial distress that has resulted from the overwhelming amount of competition, Global Communications' senior leadership has developed a restructuring plan to revitalize the company. This plan, which will call into question the company's ethical standards, must be implemented in excellence because the integrity of Global Communications is at risk.
This analysis will evaluate the ethical dilemmas that have surfaced in response to the new plan, how well Global's senior leadership has communicated the plan, which groups or individuals have an interest in Global, and how well the plan will be received by others.
