The personalized nature of mobility implies that it needs to be separately considered at various levels; |
|
first, at the individual level, where it affects the way in which an individual user uses the device; second, at the organizational level, where the issues related to the organization and the relationship of an individual user (such as an employee) with the organization comes into play; and finally at the collaborative level, where the relationships between various organizations as well as individuals need to be considered simultaneously. |

Personalization is one of the unique advantages of mobile technologies for customers. |
