MANAGEMENT AND BUSINESS CONTEXT 2
Organization
 Huawei Enterprise USA, Inc.
Analysis
Business structure and governance structure
Huawei is a globally leading ICT solution provider organization. The business
structure of an organization is based on strong partnership and customer-centric innovation
that have developed end to end strengths and capabilities around the carrier networks,
customers, enterprise, and cloud computing fields (Yhuang, 2011). The organization is
committed to generating maximum value for customers, enterprises, telecom carriers, and
customers by providing competitive ICT services and solutions. The organization is serving
in more than one-third of the world’s population. This organization product and services are
deployed in more than 140 nations. The business structure of an organization has strong
research and development capabilities and comprehensive technical expertise strategy to
focus on cooperation and integration with partners to provide highly efficient customer-
focused services and solutions that are based on needs of customers. The governance
structure of Huawei enterprise is a departure from the widely used Anglo-American model
and possibly no other in the globe, let alone China. It is an employee-owned private
organization. Shareholders of this organization are employees and not all of the employees
are shareholders. It is also known as the most intriguing aspect. There is a novel practice for
rotating chairmen. There is a supervisory board with 10 members to operate financial and
operational status (Sun, 2012).
Environmental factors
Huawei Enterprise USA, Inc is affected by the internal and external factors at large
level. Many external (environmental) factors affect decision making and performance that
consists of regulatory and political actions, competitive forces, economic conditions, and
technological changes, cultural and social influences. It is also affected by internal factors
like structure, leadership, and mission of the organization (Huawei, 2019).
Top risks
Intentionally bad software
This threat advises that Chinese manufactured devices have secret back doors that can
allow attackers to gain special access. One of the examples is that it allows a hacker to log in
to an administrator at any time. This has presented a complicated version of factory default

MANAGEMENT AND BUSINESS CONTEXT 3
passwords that would allow the bugs to access and defective random number generators and
plausible outcome that is operated under the instruction of the Chinese government. This
reduces the performance in the market and dangling backdoor intestinally. This presents a
disadvantage to make and keep the information of users (Hedvat, Intentionally Bad Software,
2014).
Unintentionally bad software
Each chip, hardware, and software vendor has released products with bugs. These
have created in an entire industry. A combination of factors consisting of language,
significant cultural issues that have kept the organization to follow the other vendor’s path.
These have generated a responsible disclosure of security problems to patched images of
software from network and security product vendor. The standards of choosing a network
product have no pattern that caused to pay more to vendor worldwide to maintain the security
product that is very necessary to focus on information security. The decision of network and
security operators affected by the origin of the equipment (Hedvat, Unintentionally Bad
Software, 2016).
Business issues
This is an important non-technical issue while considering suppliers from nations that
have a difference from cultural frameworks like competition and intellectual property. The
commingling of interest between company and government owe first loyalty to the nation and
not necessary to its customers. The implication of loyalty structure is network equipment
buyers and must be sure about engaging loyalty structure practices to work with all vendors.
There are many concern that is not specific to the security of information. This includes the
stability of the organization. A relative concern is lack of transparency compared to other
organizations. On reports organization financial or ownership are unaudited. This presents a
gap of unavailability for cautious buyers to have little to validate choices. Availability of
information is also not easy for an organization to compare with competitors and present lack
of consistency to manage work (Zhao, 2015).
