When faced with the need to communicate with staff located in several work sites and several countries, what types of technology could be used to enhance meeting capabilities?
What will be an ideal response?
Answer: Consideration must be given to cultural issues and norms, and to availability of, and use of, various technology tools. Mobil communication tools and other technology tools allow greater flexibility in meeting needs of a widely scattered workforce. Discussion should include use of emails and attached reports that can be translated with translation software. Technology that allows face to face meetings allow for better understanding because of the ability to read and gauge non-verbal signals. Mobile technology allows greater flexibility as to time of day and location of meetings.
