READ
Improved Business Communication
• The importance of technology in society and business can
be seen in how technology expands the reach and
efficiency of many forms of internal and external
communication.
• Field sales representatives and technicians, for instance, no
longer have to return to an office to receive assignments.
Instead, they take calls or mobile messages while in the
field, alerting them to the next scheduled appointment.
Business representatives traveling for work can stay
connected to the office and colleagues, and email enables
mass distribution of messages to people across
geographical boundaries.
READ
Production Benefits of Technology in Business
• No matter what your industry, business size or primary
activities, technology allows opportunities to optimize
production beyond what you could produce without it. Small
companies can often compete with larger firms in operational
efficiency, thanks to access to high-tech equipment and tools.
Manufacturers constantly look to upgrade equipment to
compete with industry leaders on production efficiency
READ
Facilitated Inventory Management
• Raw materials suppliers, manufacturers,
wholesalers, retails and B2B providers all have
inventory management processes. Technology
is used to organize items systematically in a
warehouse or storage room. Matching
computer information to inventory storage
spaces helps associates pull stock as quickly as
possible. Companies can quickly compare inventory when it comes in the door to order
sizes on the computer screen.
READ
Easier Financial Record-Keeping
• Companies small and large use advanced
software programs to manage accounting and
finance tasks. In fact, companies often use
programs that sync accounting with point-of-sale
terminals and bookkeeping programs, such that
each purchase or sale transaction is automatically
captured in an accounting platform. Using
technology to manage financial record-keeping
minimizes manual processes, reduces costs and
helps protect against human error
(Positive and Negative)
• Technology is a double-edged sword when it comes to
bringing people together. On the one hand, it makes it easier
for co-workers to communicate and collaborate as they make
use of email and team-chat sites such as Slack and Stride. Even
basic technologies such as email and text messages speed up
response time in emergencies and allow a more leisurely time
frame for less urgent issues.
Brings People Together, and Tears Them Apart
(Positive and Negative)
• Computers store and organize information in ways that would
often take human beings considerably more time. It takes seconds to pull a profit and loss statement using QuickBooks,
while it might take hours to compile the same report on paper
by hand. The information systems you create using technology
and software are only as good as the information you enter
into them.
Organizes Information, But Needs Familiarity
(Positive and Negative)
• Technology saves money for your business by saving time,
such as the hours that would be required to compile reports
by hand. In addition, meaningful and up-to-date information
helps you quickly recognize problems and opportunities and
respond proactively. However, computers, software and the
training required to maintain and upgrade them can be
expensive. These expenditures may be more costly than the
time you save.
Saves Money, and Costs Money
(Positive and Negative)
• The enhanced access to information made possible by
computer systems raises a range of privacy issues. By
collecting data about customer needs and behavior,
companies are able to effectively target advertising and
promotions. Many consumers consider this kind of record
keeping a violation of their privacy, and it raises a host of legal
issues. Similarly, businesses can use technology to monitor
employee behavior and performance but this type of
surveillance can create a hostile work environment.
Enhances Customer Data, But Raises Privacy Concerns
(Positive and Negative)
Manufacturing technologies can introduce efficiencies to a business by speeding up processes that you would otherwise have to complete. manually. Assembly lines improve productivity by consolidating processes and moving more quickly than humans can. However, replacing humans with machines can introduce new problems, such as a bakery mixer that mixes quickly and thoroughly but can’t make adjustments for idiosyncrasies in batches of flour or the amount of moisture in the air. Large-scale automation also creates social problems by putting people out of their jobs. New technology should be implemented in conjunction with retraining programs to prepare displaced employees for doing other types of work.
