Abstract

The purpose of this article is to explore effects of ongoing economic globalization by focusing on the organizational and informing aspects of the key globalization stakeholder - the transnational corporation. This is an organization with superior capabilities rooted in digital information and information technology. It is argued that the transpired globalization driven by transnational corporations (among other actors) has imbalanced the world system, which is indicated in significant economic and other differences around the world. Since actions of a transnational corporation impact inevitably and often adversely various stakeholders in the world system, informing within this corporation is not merely a technical task but rather globalization-shaping action with various ramifications. Both the transnational corporation and the environmental consequences of informing associated with it are important topics that could expand the scope of informing science research.
