From the Paper
"Three of the most popular phone companies are Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile, and their business models are similar. For example, Verizon has built its business on a simple, powerful premise; the more people connected to a network, the more valuable the network is to those who use it (Verizon 2006, at pp.1). T-Mobile has focused on servicing the customer, and ranks higher than the industry average on customer service. All three phone companies offer phones that feature a host of applications that offer simple solutions for organizing hectic work and personal life schedules. The new AT&T is the largest telecommunication company in the United States and one of the largest in the world (AT&T 2006, at pp.1)."

From the Paper
"The loss of the war brought about a popular, and relatively peaceful, revolution in Argentina, which, in turn, gained the adoption of a new constitution, and the election of a new president, Raul Alfonsin, in 1983. The revolution was not just against the outcome of the war. It was also a manifestation of the extreme dissatisfaction of the Argentine public with the terror tactics employed domestically by the military governments, and with the almost complete mismanagement of the country's economy by those governments. Argentina's current constitution is designed to provide stable, elected civilian governments. It is also designed to curb the power of the military, although President Alfonsin had to deal with several attempted rebellions by factions within the country's military establishment. In October 1989, President Menem announced pardons for 39 military officers accused of human rights crimes during the period of military rule, and announced the end of human rights trials for military officers for actions alleged to have occurred during the period of military rule. These moves by President Menem were designed to enhance the country's political stability. The new constitution also provides the government with greater powers to manage the economy than were available under the constitution of 1853, as amended."

Abstract
This paper discusses the changes that have occurred over the years in the telecommunications industry, since the "great Ma Bell". It particularly focuses on the changes that the company, Verizon will see in the fiber optic field. It looks at the forces in Verizon's task environment that affect the industry in various negative and positive ways.
From the Paper
"Verizon is a large telecom corporation. Over the last seven years, Verizon has "made an audacious--and very expensive--bet on a new internet connection that is faster than anything the U.S. has ever seen" (Stephanie Mehta, 2007, p. 119). FiOS (Fiber Optic Service) is a huge investment that the telecom industry is relying on to continue its' success. Verizon has strategically planned how to budget for "$23 billion by the end of 2010" ( Stephanie Mehta, 2007, p. 119). As fiber to the premise grows throughout the country, the more customers Verizon will lure away from the competitive cable companies. With various bundle packages and savings for customers, Verizon is continuously building a competitive advantage over that of its closest competitors. Cox Communications, Cavalier, and many other companies are close competitors in the Virginia area. Verizon has the fiber to the premise rarely failing compared to the competitors broadband fiber. Customers have complained about the moisture in the air interfering with the cable company's fiber. Verizon has proved through trails and tribulations that their fiber service to the house has done exceptionally well with little to no interruptions."

Abstract
This paper examines how top companies such as HP, Intel, Lucent, and Motorola, among other technological giant companies, have needed to change the focus of their production lines. The writer explains that in order to survive the current economic crisis, these companies must invest in developing their own new, and possibly disruptive, technology and the corporate culture to encourage ongoing innovation.
From the Paper
"Established telecoms have caught on to the idea for a much more compelling reason. Circuit-centric vendors have recognized that, like mainframe manufacturers before them, they could be blindsided by new competitors. Communications networks are subject to disruption in the process of the improvement of component technologies, faster lasers, dense wavelength division multiplexing and improved fiber, amongst others. These advances are leading to a new class of ?disruptive carriers, including companies such as Qwest, Level 3, Enron, Frontier and others who are building new ?long-haul? networks. These are expected to be the only the first level of even greater disruption to come, creating a new market dynamic as companies solving the huge and expanding demand for bandwidth capacity sell and use their increased, flexible and more reliable facilities (Isenberg, 7/99)."

Technological Literacy of Technology Education Teachers, 2005.
This paper is a research proposal to survey industrial technology education teachers in the State of Arizona to determine their acceptance and use of the "Standards for Technological Literacy" (STL) and to assess standards-based training needs.
9,480 words (approx. 37.9 pages), 36 sources, APA, $ 194.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that, today, it is becoming increasingly clear that there is a growing need for technological literacy, but it is unclear how technology education teachers are making decisions on classroom practice based on the "Standards for Technological Literacy", which focuses on what every student in grades K-12 should know and be able to do in order to be technologically literate. The author states that the study will address the issue of assessing standards-based training needs through a critical review of the scholarly literature followed by a survey of what 7th to 10th grade technology education teachers in Arizona know about the standards, how they are using them and what the need for standards-based training. The paper relates that a Likert-type scale will be used to determine the acceptance and use of the STL and to measure the perceived needs of standards-based training.

From the Paper
"To date, thousands of technology teachers, science and mathematics teachers, and other educators and experts from around the country have collaborated in an effort to identify precisely what students in kindergarten through 12th grade should be learning about technology. This group, together with content specialists and representatives from the National Research Council (NRC) and the National Academy of Engineering (NAE), reviewed Standards for Technological Literacy and recommended modifications and additions. The resulting document, supported by both NRC and NAE, defined the study of technology as a discipline and provided a framework for individual teachers, schools, school districts, and states or provinces to develop technological literacy in all students. The research to date indicates that when schools provide students with a quality education in their primary language they provide them with two things: knowledge and literacy."

The Impact of Global Telecommunications Improvements on Islamic Women, 1996.

Abstract
This thesis examines the impact of telecommunications improvements on the Islamic people. Specifically, the impact of these improvements on Saudi Arabia, an Arab state, and Iran, a Persian state. Although not "anti-technology" or opposed to modernization, the people in Saudi Arabia and Iran are adapting to telecommunications improvements in a method that is in accordance with their core beliefs. The belief in Islam accounts for the "non-Western" model of implementing telecommunications improvements for the citizens of these two countries.
The underpinning of this thesis is that telecommunications improvements will impact the Islamic world no less than any other region of the world experiencing the same improvements. In the case of Saudi Arabia, the CDLR(Committee for the Defense of Legitimate Rights) is an influential organization using facsimile machines to impact the domestic political environment. Iran, growing as fast in telephone line installations and satellite services as their economic peers, is moving towards privatization in telecommunication systems. Furthermore, Iran is using its capabilities to influence Central Asian neighbors and spread their Shi'i Islam belief.
With the growth and availability of telecommunications services, it is inevitable that current technology will allow unique opportunities to gain and disseminate information. The international community is unlikely to find a viable method to control the proliferation of telecommunications around the globe. Therefore, each society or nation is its own regulator of improving telecommunications systems. Each society, to include the Islamic people, must rely on their culture to determine the degree telecommunications will penetrate the fabric of their society.

"Ranging from the dynamic to the mundane, the improvement of global information systems crosses cultures, languages, and generations. With the information communication sector growing at twice the rate of the rest of the economy, the globalization of information infrastructures has just begun. The global distribution of telephone circuitry, although not as prevalent as television sets, constitutes the largest interconnected global public communications network. Furthermore, the telephone companies, while at the forefront of media providers, are at the leading edge of the digitalization process as a result of experience in providing service and maintenance communication systems to millions of customers."

Economic Model for Monopoly Analysis in Telecommunication, 2006.
An in-depth look at the various economic models prevalent within the telecommunications industry.

Abstract
This paper analyzes how the Telecommunications Act of 1996 sought to end the monopoly that once existed in the telecommunications industry. Since its adoption, the telecommunications industry has been undergoing a period of rapid change and development. The entry of new players into the market encouraged them to seek new ways to attract and keep customers. These changes have led to a rapid influx of new technology and services. Many times what defines a monopoly is not clear in every circumstance and there are many pending lawsuits for violations of Anti-trust laws in the courts today. Economic models are useful in resolving issues of whether a monopoly truly exists, or whether claims are unsubstantiated. Previous models were applicable only in certain situations. These models are unreliable in predicting monopolies outside the parameters for which they were designed. This research evaluates and analyzes economic models that could accurately predict the existence of a monopoly in the Telecommunications sector.

From the Paper
"The telecommunications industry is important and considered a vital part of our everyday lives. The telecommunications industry represents only a small portion of the country's Gross Domestic Product, only 1-2% (Stigiltz, 1998). While this amount may seem insignificant, the services that it provides are vital to every other sector in the economy. Telecommunications is the backbone of many other sectors.
The Telecommunications Act of 1996 is one of the most highly debated topics in economics. There are some that say that it has been ineffective and that we now have a monopoly again, as a result of mergers and acquisitions. There are others who say that it has had the intended result, but that the movement towards a competitive marketplace does not happen overnight. Poulson (1997) believes that achieving a fair market in Colorado will not be immediate and will take some time. There are others who believe that it is working in some cases and not working in others. Alaska is moving towards a more competitive marketplace on a local level. Rural communities often have a localized monopoly as there are not enough customers to attract competition (APUC, 1997).
Michael Porter states that "Paradoxically, the enduring competitive advantages in a global economy lie increasingly in local things - knowledge, relationships, and motivation that distant rivals cannot match (Porter, 1998). He is referring to what is known as clusters, which he defines as one place of unusual competitive success in particular fields. Examples of clusters can be found across industries and around the globe. Examples of clusters include Silicon Valley, Hollywood, the California Wine Valley and the Italian Leather Fashion sector.
Clusters can be characterized by the interconnected network of suppliers, service providers and producers who are geographically aligned and who have positive dependencies and cooperation with one another. Alfred Marshall's Principles of Economics points out that location based clusters that conduct specific types of business and economic activities form based on the sharing of "tacit" knowledge among business participants. (Krugman, 1991) The success of a cluster depends not only on what operating strategy firms employ, but also on the surrounding business environment. Clusters differ from the traditional definition of a monopoly in that competition and cooperation are vital to the success of the business. According to Porter, there are three overarching ways that clusters influence competition:
1.Productivity of companies is increased by the dynamics of a cluster.
2.Clusters tend to direct the pace of innovation through competition and cooperation.
3.Clusters actually support the growth of new business - each individual business can benefit from the scale of the cluster."

Abstract
This paper explains that the construction industry, which grew out of basic societal needs, is a well-developed industry that has been in existence for a long time; whereas, telecommunications is a relatively new industry. The author points out that the construction industry in the United States is changing from the concept of the "Master Builder" of the early 19th century to a disaggregated and compartmentalized category of specialists; the change in the telecommunications industry is coming primarily from technology advances. The paper relates that the general economic performance of the construction industry is very difficult to judge because the profits are often hidden away in their investments in land; whereas, the economic growth of the local telephone companies is coming from the expanded scope of their operations.

From the Paper
"The biggest benefit for the construction industry is coming from the government. The 2005 budget of about $40.2 billion for homeland security is that of $9 billion which is 29% higher than 2003, and $20.4 billion higher than the 2001 increase of 103% over the 2001 year level of funding related to homeland security. The largest portion of this funding is for airport screening and use of prevailing technologies. The Government Accountability Office -- GAO has already published several reports which recommend greater focus on matters other than air travel."

Abstract
This paper analyzes the concept of disruptive innovation, also known as disruptive technology and disruptive change. Using Ron Adner's definition from his article titled ?When Are Technologies Disruptive? A Demand-Based View of The Emergence of Competition? as a guide, it attempts to investigate the dynamics of disruptive innovation in the marketplace. It looks at some of key characteristics and attributes inherent in any disruptive innovation and outlines some useful strategies companies can use to protect themselves through identifying, assessing and even creating disruptive innovation. It concludes with a discussion concerning some of the major hurdles companies undergo when contending with such an event in their market space.

How to Create Disruptive Innovation
Strategy #1 - Creating a New Market as a Base for Disruption
Strategy #2 - Disrupting the Business Model From the Low End
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Another common hurdle in the face of disruption comes to light once a company has decided to embrace the innovation while continuing to operate the current business. Since, a disruptive innovation creates the need for such a different business model, and usually a different product, there is no question that complications arise when a company tries to incorporate the new business within the current model. The issues are numerous and range from funding, human resources, leadership, and cost structures just to name a few. To minimize these risks and hurdles studies suggest that the new business functions be carried out as an independent entity, linking back to the parent only when necessary or to take advantage of clearly beneficial synergies."
