About this title

From the Publisher

This is the first text to link computer networking to the concepts of strategic planning within the organization.
The business side of LANs and WANs is discussed early in the text. The business and social impact of networks is demonstrated through the use of many familiar examples.
Unlike competitive texts, Telecommunications in Business: Strategy and Application presents only the necessary technical material to show how networks work and what they are used for.
A significant part of Telecommunications in Business: Strategy and Application looks at networking opportunities for improving business effectiveness by analyzing business functions, improving internal communications and through inter-and intraorganizational relationships.
Techniques such as cost/benefit analysis for network planning, design, and construction are presented from a manager's point of view.
The management and security of networks, along with technical tools, such as risk analysis and disaster recovery, are treated in an entire chapter.
