The future of telecommunications operator alliances
This paper deals with the issue of telecommunications operator alliances,and their relevance from the point ofview of globalization. Considering theimportance of symmetries in theoreticalphysics, we try to use a standard principle of symmetry, which can be simplytranslated in 'homogenisation of socioeconomic space', a new concept whichencompasses the convergence of social trends and economics. After studying telecommunications liberalisationin the US, in EU and in Japan, andanalysing the forces engendered by the homogenisation of socioeconomicspace, we conclude that telecommunications operators will have to reviewtheir alliances strategy to match this on-going movement.
Shaping the Competition and Building Competitive Advantage in the Global Telecommunication Industry
Our paper investigates the drivers that shape the global telecommunication industry, and the sources of competitive advantage for the traditional telecommunication operators. The analysis is based on a case study of British Telecommunications Plc. (BT) and the co-operative relationships formed by the company in response to the increasingly dynamic and competitive environment. A detailed chronology of the co-operative relationships and business networks formed by BT is provided to illustrate the diversity and complexity of strategic responses to globalisation process in the sector. We investigate the key motives that have driven BT in its choices of partners and collaboration agreements, and how the company has repositioned itself for the growing demand of value-added services in communications.
