SMAC Solutions in a Networked Business Environment

Abstract

Effective management in a networked business environment can be viewed from a number of perspectives, e.g. in terms of economic relations, organizational structures, workforce implications, corporate culture, or information infrastructure. Information and Communication Technology (ICT) solutions are indeed at the core of business organizations in a knowledge economy. This is particularly true of smart organizations, where advanced ICT infrastructure is a sine qua non condition for effective knowledge management. The paper aims to depict a recent trend in ICTs designated as SMAC (Social, Mobility, Analytics, Cloud), standing for a driving force of innovation and an essential supporting element of management processes in networked environments. Embracing SMAC technologies is at once a challenge and an opportunity for Polish companies as they struggle to compete in international markets.
