MNC’s are the driving force of building and operating the Global Information System (GIS). Intially Information System was focused to bulid and operate within the country. When the MNC companies started emerging globally the information system is also adapted in global context. A new series of problems are faced by MNC companies due to different culture, language, currencies, laws and investement in information systems and information technology. Competency of MNC companies are different in each and every country. Similarly the information system and information technology vary accordingly.
To solve the problems the Information System managers has to think globally and be aware of the local suituation and accept the suituation with possible solutions. Top management of the MNC companies should also be aware of the suituation and must build an IS to keep the companies highly competitive. In order to overcome this challenges an educational reform has to be made by the MNC companies and the IS managers should obtain help from technical and legal assistants.
