Abstract
This paper assess the literature about the organization of network and evaluate the explanations
for the behavior regarding the established principles of analysis. Tools from the sociology,
economy and computer science give various markedly interpretations regarding the core
attributes and they settle the handful of the common themes. The assumed benefits involve
clarification and implication of the meaning for it for the organization for the structured network,
a limited insight into the origin as well as a suggestion regarding the boundaries where the
various forms may be in existence.
Introduction
The Innovative environment lead to novel structures. The Practices which were once deliberated
a competitive advantage may handicap, delay and trip the organizations which may consistently
employ them. When the environments gets changed, the organizations can be restructured. The
paper explore and identify the design variables, benefits and costs of the network organizations.
The structure of network portray a high level of flexibility as well as the initial objective which is
to evaluate the literature regarding the ways it can move quickly and manage the economy and
respond the changing environment socially (Çetinkaya, et al., 2013).The evaluation can help to
expose the diversity of nomenclature and ideas on the network and can also get various methods
to tolerate while interpretation of the features. The next objective of the research paper is to
analyze the outcomes and differentiate the explanatory power to compete with the theories. For
example, structural models speak to the issues of power and also influence the gloss over the
efficiency and etiology in the networks. The efficiency models also dictate that the transactions
are occurring outside or inside the firm and they overlook the confounding matter of

maneuverability and authority. The tools from various disciplines triangulate the most specific
characteristics of network.
Aim of the Research
 To identify and describe the usage of network
 To analyze the difference between the network design between the small and large
organization

which the company does.
Description and Identification of Network Usage
In the postindustrial community, the core issue is to analyze the ways about the organizational
decision making and to analyze and process the information. In a decentralized and distributed
system, the significant challenge involves exhibiting the consistency of the purpose which is to
attain the global efficacy and efficiency from the local activity. The main aim is to coordinate the
problem to be solved in the complex environment (Ju, et al., 2014). The computation based
views draws the attention towards the designing of parameters of variables of the tasks, the
processors and managers, the communication and arrangement between them. From analogy to
hierarchy till the markets, parallel designing and serials impact the firm’s architectures. The
research paper consist of six aspects of the information processing:
 Parallelism, Dependencies of the resources and Process flow
 Generalization and specialization processor
 Tolerance and Vulnerability to the failure of processor
 Coordination costs and Communication channels
Networks which are less efficient as compared to the hierarchies as per the costs of
communication channel. Assumption of N nodes in the company, the pathways of vertical
communication needs solely N-1 channels, over the single nodes in the decision tree of the
hierarchy. The expense of the networking together the employees can be followed by the decline
of cost of Information technology, which can thus amount for the betterment of the opportunities

for the networked firms as it gives the contribution to the overload of information. Co-ordination
of resources may develop a huge demand for the communication. Networks have a low cost of
coordination than the markets as well as more suppleness and flexibility than the hierarchies. An
example which compares the relative structure of governance (Kuzllu, et al., 2014). The number
of the consequential steps and procedures is similar all through the organizations which produce
the similar good and different structure portray various scale and harmonious economies as they
arrange their steps distinguish. Networks of computer are improving the processes of business.
To give the benefits of the networks who have actually themselves grown into complex system.
They do connect the components of the infrastructure of the IT which support any number of the
mismatched services, protocols and applications while offering the employees the access to
resources who keep the processes of business running. Today, the economy based on internet
demands often the services of customer, so a network of business is available for the time.t
should be good enough to fend off automatically the incidents of unexpected security and also
adjust to the dynamic loads of traffic to sustain the performance of the application consistently
(Scroggie, et al., 2014). Network involves taking advantage and recognizing the valuable
relationships in order to complete the things and achieve the goals. Also, it involves closely
working with the workers for the potential awareness and problems and needs of the future as
well as devising the strategies which are appropriate to address them. Networking is related to
the association. By using the participation process in the workplace issues, networks and
relationships are formed between the workers and people of the organization. Potentially, the
networks create a sense of common support and destiny. Therefore, they help the individuals to
strengthen and empower the employees and organization as well as the work team.

Description of Elements Related To the Network for These Organization
Informal and Formal networks
The place of work is a societal system which is a myriad relating to the relationships and
networks between the people. There are independent and dependent relationships like any other
framework. Individuals who work in a team have more sense of collaboration instead of working
alone. Collaboration is a word which involves executing the work with any other groups or
individuals to attain the outcome. Many companies encourage themselves positively to build a
relationship within the teams and all through the company. Through the morning teas and sports
club. Gathering the data regarding standards involve various ways to collect he information and
data which involves using the book of telephone, using the contact list and resource folder,
asking colleagues and friends, using the library, access of internet, writing of letters, approach
towards the people, use of telephone. The collecting and gathering as well as analysis of the
concerns and needs of the individual who are involved involve the possible solutions and also
regarding the solution which is considered as very important.
Communication networks
Communication networks are developing a constant inroads towards the industry which is
changing the process and system of business (Scroggie, et al., 2014). The key components and
elements which strive to substitute the slower and tedious trail of paper are Electronic Data
Interchange and Electronic Commerce. They have strong implications and applications for the
competitiveness of all the requisite levels. Progressive industries and countries are reaping the
advantages of the coordinated practices, standards and procedures of Electronic commerce.
Recognition of the significance of networks of communication, the government of India and the
ministry of commerce, National association of the services and software companies etc. which

MANAGEMENT OF BUSINESS TELECOMMUNICATIONS
are taken for the coordinated implementation of EDI. Such infrastructure offers the backbone for
the network of the organization’s communication. This term of communication network is also
utilized in the most generic sense in the research. The networks of communication are software
and hardware elements which facilitate the communication. It may be in the form of video, data,
files and text as well as voice. The components of hardware may spread of the components
which may start from the LAN (Local area Network) till WAN (Wide Area Network), extranets,
intranets and internets. Presently, few of the organizations like Monsanto have the current
configuration like extranets and intranets. Though internet usage, Wan and LAN is very common
in the firms which are globally competitiveness.
The Role of Network of Communication in the organizational Network
The network of communication plays a vital role which enables the success of the organizational
network. After comparing with the other organizational forms, the network organization have
various characteristics making it open for the networks of communication. These may involve
Decision making and distributed operations, Limited movement of individuals like professionals
in the field of software with the requirement of international sourcing for having competitive
edge, the Participative, non-hierarchical and open structure of the organizational network which
requires and need free flow of the data and information. This asks for the effective network of
communication to facilitate the informational access, and the low cost structure which is
alternative to achieve the excellence in global work, the distribution of geographical partners
which are associated through the network of communication (Srivastava, et ala., 2015). The
appropriate findings for the confirmation of network typed form of organization involves the
consulting firms at global basis. The networks of communication are the backbone of the

8
MANAGEMENT OF BUSINESS TELECOMMUNICATIONS
organizations. The forms which are IT focused are away from any other form of the
organizational network to use the communication network for the competitive advantage.
Differentiation of Networks between the Two Organizations
Monsanto and ENGEO have a wide amount of data which the organization can produce and
manufacture today which can aid to serve better the increase and customers productivity. Yet, the
similar information may also get a high liability and if it is a highly protected company. The
organizations which use effectively the information which will have a significant competitive
advantage. On those individuals who may cannot be the difference in between the failure and
success. With a rising cost ad increasing value, the companies which are successful always find a
suitable way to become efficient and protect the information as well as unleash the productivity
which it can bring.
Small Group Communication
The companies which involve small number of employees like 50-100 employees are termed as
Small-Medium organization. A group which does not need many members to be considered as
large in terms of lines of communication explains the reason of the messaging system in the peer
to peer similar to those which involve the becoming of noisy environment. For true and small
group which have few lines of communication, the interaction is social and rational. It is not fit
for the large, formal and organized group who tend to communicate. It consist of various ways
and lines to communicate for the effective communication.
Large Group Communication

9
MANAGEMENT OF BUSINESS TELECOMMUNICATIONS
Communication in the members of large group setting and framework involves hierarchical
structure than the small groups of people where the interaction is synchronous. The larger groups
may not need any facilitation according to which the embers are able to interact, as it controls the
needs which can be implemented to sustain the conversation going out of control. If a manager
wants to interact with a larger audience to engage and spread a meaningful dialogue over a
specific topic, they may need to break the silence into small group. The requirement to present
concrete program has caused the designing of sophisticated distribution of knowledge models,
which is a unique advantage for the metaphor of the computer. Coherence can be achieved and
attained by devising of global; plan which is distributed and central to the incremental plan
where the local plans get revised and disseminated to finish off the conflicts. Also, the agents can
synchronize the activities after the transfer of local knowledge for the global database. Heuristics
for central processing make sur the consistency of information and whether it is ubiquitous and
shared even in the case where the agents are focusing only on the portion of whole database.
Significant characteristics of network organization involves the sensitivity towards the condition
of marketing which comes under the benefit rubric from the well diversified sensing. In the
harmonious solving of problem, the data from the various sources should be fused, analyzed and
collected in to the action plan (Tilleman, et al., 2015). The reduction of distance of
communication between the agent pair by similar amount reduces exponentially the aggregate
distance in all the agents. Therefore, every agent is nearby to various original sources. The time
when the data is gathered goes in parallel over multiple sites and location, it offers more and
earlier a complete and overarching detail which allows the organization to give the response as
per the opportunity to the environment. Also, it encourages the ability and capability to entertain
for various aspects, possibly the incompatible hypothesis. Generally, Pluralism proves the

10
MANAGEMENT OF BUSINESS TELECOMMUNICATIONS
superior to solve the problems which are ill structured. Hypothesis which are conflicting incur
and bear the cost of reconciliation but in the scientific community, it offers a complete system
and framework in tough task to generate the alternatives and choices. The group explores the
promising solution and may comply the barren paths but not endanger the community and
society after the elimination of all the options. The partnership of network rely over the synergy
and cooperation which works as per the requirements which are in excess to the return to share.
For instance, at the time of growth in market. Application of game theory to the network and
repeated dilemma of the prisoner may improve the solution of one period as there many
shareable gains. Sharing of controls involves the inefficiencies of investment as well as structure
of overhead governance (Spinuzzi, et al., 2015). This happens in the case of know-how
consultancies and it is also applicable on the companies which purchase simply the assets and
integrate them vertically. If the combinations of complementary assets develops high value
instead of control sharing with the agents who are indispensable, the network organizations may
emerge and develop themselves in high preference for the hierarchy. It involves Coherence,
sensing and distributed knowledge, Security and Connectivity, Network connectivity means
wireless access and Ethernet cables points and Modularity.
Conclusion
The report has conducted the survey for the literature of network organization to demonstrate the
multiple designing of variables which utilize the ideas from sociology, economics and computer
science. Particularly, the network organizations are characterized as the high conceptualized
assets, a joint control which is integrative and a common goals. Network Organizations perform
better under the conditions which need both flexibility and efficiency. Complements of
knowledge may also be combined for creating the value and the inalienability regarding the

11
MANAGEMENT OF BUSINESS TELECOMMUNICATIONS
know-how which implies and indicates that the experts may need to control the authority of
control as the links of information which can enhance the ability for handling the complexity. As
per the three different metaphors, the synergy aids in motivating the agents for working together.
Networks of computer are improving the processes of business. To give the benefits of the
networks who have actually themselves grown into complex system. They do connect the
components of the infrastructure of the IT which support any number of the mismatched
services, protocols and applications while offering the employees the access to resources who
keep the processes of business running.
