Obvious communication tools: email, instant messaging, phones, etc Specific to multinationals: maybe things like the Blackberry, where people can receive emails wherever they are

Alright, good start, but more detail guys! Keep it up! 1207671291

Email - Email systems can be both internal and external, but I think external is more suitable, as creating an internal email system in a company that extends over many countries would be hard to maintain.

Cell-phones - Cell-phones are used by employees all over the world to communicate not only with the office in the host country, but other employees, clients, etc. in other countries.

Instant messaging (MSN, for example) - Instant messaging is much more efficient than email, as the users can talk directly to each other rather than constantly refreshing the page for a reply.

INTRANET: network within a company, similar to the internet Businesses use intranets to support their internal business processes in three basic ways:
 * to provide employees access to important information for their jobs
 * to facilitate employees' teamwork and collaboration within and among departments
 * to process internal company transactions online

I think this relates well back to management, so I'm thinking we can focus a bit more on intranets 1207799846
