Course: WISE copy MGMT 300 Foundations of Management > Section: Week 5: October 16 - October 22

continues to grow and become an integral part of the way business is conducted. However, one
challenge caused by some the high level of integrated technology is security. Software and other

applications for their workforce.
Discuss This:
1) What benefits do you see with being able to do work anywhere, anytime? (Think in terms
of benefits for an organization and for its human resources.)
2) What other issues, besides security, do you see with being able to do work anywhere,
anytime? (Again, think about this for an organization and for its employees.)

Guidelines: 1) Your discussion post should be no less than 10 sentences, in total, to answer the above questions. 2) You must use a reference from your text or from another source to support your opinion. 3) Please respond to one of your classmates post.
