Why would a manager be concerned with bandwidth? How is bandwidth measured? Solution Bandwidth is defined as the network\'s capacity of transferring data and handling transmission. In organisations, in order to run business efficiently, managers are determined to transfer and receive information as quickly as possible without any delay or loss of valuable information. Bandwidth enable managers to measure the network performance, that is, how efficient the system is in sending and receiving data. Businesses, today, are majorly technology driven and therefore, any delay in transmitting or accepting important information may deeply affect the performance of the business. No manager would want poor bandwidth to have an impact on key business variables or loss of business opportunities. They do not want any restriction on the flow of data because of the slow transmission speed. Bandwidth is measured in terms of bit rate performance, that is, the information sent or received by bit per unit of time. Bandwidth is generally measured in the units of bps (bits per second), kbps (kilobits per second), mbps (megabits per second), gbps (gigabits per second) and tbps (terabits per second)..

Solution
Bandwidth is defined as the network's capacity of transferring data and handling transmission.
In organisations, in order to run business efficiently, managers are determined to transfer and
receive information as quickly as possible without any delay or loss of valuable information.
Bandwidth enable managers to measure the network performance, that is, how efficient the
system is in sending and receiving data. Businesses, today, are majorly technology driven and
therefore, any delay in transmitting or accepting important information may deeply affect the
performance of the business. No manager would want poor bandwidth to have an impact on key
business variables or loss of business opportunities. They do not want any restriction on the flow
of data because of the slow transmission speed.
Bandwidth is measured in terms of bit rate performance, that is, the information sent or received
by bit per unit of time. Bandwidth is generally measured in the units of bps (bits per second),
kbps (kilobits per second), mbps (megabits per second), gbps (gigabits per second) and tbps
(terabits per second).
