Abstract
The uncertainties around the future of work has engendered and continue to provoke stimulating discussions amongst scholars interested in the dynamics of the world of work, and other allied researchers. While the construction of these uncertainties is not far-fetched, scholars have somewhat reached a consensus, that the emergence of globalization spanning over four decades ago, has further exacerbated the magnitude of these uncertainties. To be sure, the apologists of globalization have argued that the emergence of globalization, rather than prospering the future of work, has provoked several threats to the continued relevance of work, rather than progression.

Evolving Value Networks and Internationalisation of National Telecommunication Companies from Small and Open Economies
The OECD (2007) defined globalisation from an economic perspective: “The term globalisation is generally used to describe an increasing internationalisation of markets for goods and services, the means of production, financial systems, competition, corporations, technology and industries”. Whereas Clark and Knowles (2003) included a broader view in their definition: “The process by which economic, political, cultural, social, and other relevant systems of nations are integrating into World Systems is called globalisation.” It seems that when analysing the internationalisation of many service companies, especially in network industries such as the telecommunications industry, it is necessary to include this broader perspective of globalisation into the conceptual framework, as often political and cultural systems play a significant role in the internationalisation of services
