This study examines the influence of information quality on enterprise networking using risk management as an intervening factor in the telecommunication sector. Based on the increasing importance of information-based decision making, the study would explore the role of accurate, relevant and timely information in contributing to the network capability of an enterprise, and how risk management processes would translate this information into greater cooperation and organizational sustainability. Quantitative research design was adopted and data was gathered using a structured survey that was given to employees in telecommunication firms. The valid responses were then subjected to SPSS to determine validity, reliability, correlations, regressions and mediation effects. The results affirm that the quality of information enhances enterprise networking significantly, whereas the role of risk management partially mediates the relationship by minimizing uncertainties and improving the level of inter- organizational trust. The research also adds to theory and practice in the sense that it presents empirical evidence within an emerging market environment, and it can be said that it offers a practical contribution to telecom managers on the way to use high-quality information and robust risk management practices to develop stronger enterprise networks and remain competitive.
