Role & Impact of Technology

The role of technology in organizations is to improve the processes or better still make things become more efficient. Organizations can be both public and private , government or non-government . Technology can be harnessed in all fields and it hasshown productivity gains in the developed and developing countries as well. I think there are more advantages than disadvantages. The advantage is that there is better productivity for the whole organization. Information Technology (IT) has enabled organizations to gain competitive advantages enabling these organizations to serve their clients, shareholders better. However, there is a downside to technology . Organizations that cannot harness technology to its advantage will get behind and willsee its "fortunes" dwindle in the long term. Thus, developing countries that fail to improve their technological processes will get left behind. This has a net effect of further wealth depletion for these countries and generally organizations.

Hello,

As I'm sure you know this is a vague question that will lead to a also vague answer, none the less, here it goes. There are always to sides of the same coin, what I mean is that what can be seen as an advantage can also be seen as a disadvantage, for example technology should be able to allow companys to reduce costs, this cost can and are on people, since automating repating tasks and reducing duplicated tasks will make the money save money, but will also allow the company to reduce on people, since not always will they be needed on other areas, and this is of course a disadvantage for the employees beeing fired.
