Introduction
In simple words mobile computing is an ability to work with the help of notebooks, laptops,
palmtops, PDAs and smart cell phones, these devices helps you to communication or compute

computing devices has inbuilt functionality to access wireless technology with no limitation of
space and place (Peng, 2005). Some of the following benefits are described below.

information. Refined and relevant information flow is improved with the help of improved
mobile operating systems (Zimmerman, 1999). The ability to access the centralized information
of the organization enables employee to complete their task with remote locations.
Increased Operational Efficiency
Mobile computing has increased the computing power and smooth information flow enables well
coordination of mobile workers of organizations (Welling & Badrinath, 1998). So it can improve
the efficiency in terms of productivity with many ways like saving time, low cost operations,
