Abstract :
The mobile enterprise is an emerging organizational form that has resulted in a paradigm shift of how business is done. However, only little theoretical work has been done to explore what actually constitutes a mobile enterprise. This article addresses this definitional issue by exploring the salient value propositions that drive the emergence of the mobile enterprise, identifying categories of workers that can benefit from mobile ICT, reviewing what current solutions support the mobile workforce, identifying the challenges of adopting and implementing these solutions, and providing propositions for future theoretical and empirical research.
