Although pork is becoming an increasingly popular meat, most people don't realize that pork meat is tough. Pork processors can tenderize the meat, but there is a problem with testing for tenderness. One international meat processing firm has tasked a group with finding an inexpensive method of testing tenderness. The project has been assigned to the firm's employees in Brazil, Canada, Germany, and the U.S. These people communicate via computers. This group will not work together once they find a solution. This is an example of:

A) autonomous technology
B) a strategic alliance
C) an interconnected network
