Question # 3:
1. Describe or define VO.
2. Distinguish VO from MIS.
3. Illustrate (give examples) how VO can improve company's competitive advantage and organizational performance.
1. Virtual Office is defined as a mobile or remote work-environment equipped with telecommunications links and basic 0ffice furniture, but without a fixed office space. It is a term for shared office services, which normally includes business address, mail courier services, phone services, fax services, answering services, web-hosting services and meeting and conference facilities.
2. Virtual Office suggests that office work can be done at virtually any geographical location as long as the work site is linked to one or more of the firm's fixed locations by some type of electronic communications capability. While MIS deals with planning for, development, management, and use of information technology tools to help people perform all tasks related to information processing and management. It is a system based on the database of the organization evolved for the purpose of providing information to the people of the organization. It focuses to descipline.
3. VO can improve company's competitive advantage and organizational performance by overcoming the workplace with electronics and thereby makes possible several real advantages. Such as reduced equipment and facility cost where the firm does not have to have such a large office capacity and office equipment, since some employees are working elsewhere, making possible reduced cost for office rents; social contribution wherein VO makes it possible for the firm to employ persons who would not otherwise have an oppurtunity to work, and it therefore provides the firm with an oppurtunity to express its social conscience; and formal comminication network. For example, the telecommuters must be kept informed about and provided with specific instructions, more attention is given to the communication network than is ordinarily the case. In the traditional office setting, much information is communicated in casual conversation and by observation. The increased attention to the telecommuters needs has the potential for producing better communications than when all employees work can continue. These advantages are advantages that accrue to the firm, and VO demands cooperation by both the firm and the employees if it is to succeed.
