This is a method or technique that people use in improving their production using machines rather than the manpower that is for the cases of new technology. With this technology then a person is able to combine the available resources to produce desired products, they are also able to solve the problems they face like lack of enough food for the population and also have excess for sell to improve their living standards, and they are able to fulfill their needs because they can produce.
This technology includes the technical methods, skills, processes, tools, and raw materials that people are able to incorporate to make something of importance in their lives. It helps people to advance in economies leading to changes in their living styles this is through making high production and the country will be aware of the changes that are important so that they can be able to rise production at all levels.
The processes have effects in society in that they lead to the pollution which is harmful to both human beings and the animal races and therefore the industries have to ensure that their waste products are treated to be less harmful if they have to channel it to the open places. There is the problem of the depletion of natural resources in that in case of mineral extracts then the industries leave the area of no use as they take the entire upper layer, which is important for plants growth, and also the place is left rocky meaning nothing can be produced in such places. (Ricky, 1992)
New technology leads to changes in people’s culture as they are able to leave the traditional methods and adopt new methods and therefore their way of behaving is changed whereby things like wooden plows that were used in production have been changed and they use machines like combine harvesters and this helps in saving time and at the same time producing more.
People who adopt new technology can be easily distinguished from those that do not use in that in their products then the products are of high quality and also quantity this is because comparing the manpower with machines then people find it easier to use the machines for production rather than the human force as it is faster. With this technology people are able to communicate when they are far in that the use of mobile phones which is a new technology helps people to reduce the costs of movement and time that can be spent by an individual in moving from one place to another can be used to do something more constructive.
In automobile companies, the Internet has been used as the most efficient way in which the company can be able to communicate to buyers from all over the world, and also they are able to sell through the same method by use of credit cards. Technology has an impact on automobile companies in that the management is able to make decisions without the need of requiring to make consultations. This is because with the internet then one is able to know how to run the business through getting information on the internet and this helps the business to save money that could have been used in decision making and be invested to produce more.
It has enabled industries to reduce costs in terms of losses as the use of human power wastes a lot of time and it is costly as all the workers need to be paid but with the use of machines then the number of workers is reduced and the work is done within the shortest time possible as the only thing that they have to do is to have the skills on how these machines work.
Technology is important in that it leads to many benefits been adapted in the area like exploitation of resources whereby the people get skills in using these tools and also people are able to save as if they were to spend on buying certain products that are produced in that industry then they get them at a lesser cost as compared to when buying from other areas. People are able to do research and make predictions of natural disasters that may affect them in the future. This helps the people to make the plans on how to work with the disasters in case they appear as they already have the information related to such problems. (Ricky, 1992)
In the use of technology, it means that most of the expenses are done away with like if people make use of machines then most of the losses are reduced as they are aware that the amount that is needed is produced within that shortest time possible and therefore cases of delay are no longer experienced leading to the making of required sales for that particular industry. The managers in the industries have limited work of staying in the company to supervise the employees but in stead, they use these machines to detect any worker who is not serious with what they are expected to do.
Without the machines, the employer has to keep watch of what these employees are doing and directing them so that the desired product is made but this has reduced the need for them to be in the company all the time. Technology serves as the best way in which people can improve in all their activities what they require is the skills to be able to use such technology as compared in the past when everything was to be done manually because no technology had been invented at that time, therefore, the produce was very poor and low only enough for the population. (Elizabeth, 1996)
The new technology has influenced the nature of competition in the automobile industry. This helps the company make more profits and also streamline its operations. The industry can work effectively without failures because the technology helps the workers in performing their duties in the most effective way without defects to their products because the machines have to make detection in the items that are produced to make sure that they are of the right quality that is desired by their consumers.
There is high production in the company because the machines are installed to work throughout therefore giving high produce as compared to the use of manpower where no one can work without having a rest but the machines provide the company with the best products that enable it to be able to compete with other related companies. It reduces the lazy workers who make products to be low because they spend a lot of time making the expected production leading to delays and therefore the sales are also low, as consumers have no time to wait for an item to be produced when there is the same item been sold in the market.
The time that could be spent in production is also reduced this is because comparing the speed of man and machine then one finds that machines make use of energy that is readily available but man uses the manpower where one can not over speed like the machines and thus the time spend by machines is less and more is produced. (Elizabeth, 1996)
With new technology the company is able to install other services that will enable it to reduce the costs of for example movement of workers from one place to another and therefore they are able to get all that they need in the same room meaning that the time they were wasting going for things they require is taken to working as all they need is provided. The worker has to do all the best because each has his or her work to do and therefore the cases of lack of products are eliminated and thus the company enjoys the high sales that are made because with the division of labor no time is wasted by workers as they know what is expected of them by the company each day and all work to reach that target. So the cases of losses are no longer experienced in the company with all doing their work.
The technology creates the desire for the people to have relationships within themselves which makes the work continue because everyone is willing and able to work in any field as assistance will be provided without relationship been imposed in a company then it becomes hard for the people as no one will be ready to assist the other. This creates a boundary between them and is extended to the consumers leading to the reduction of sales as no one can purchase a commodity without making the right inquiries and if there is no right conduct then it means that even the consumers will not have anybody to assist.
Therefore people end up knowing how to behave and attract customers to their company in order to make more sales and improve in their ways. The interaction of the company changes because they have to make the right decision on how to enter the market so as to increase their sales and therefore the workers have to learn the new techniques that will boost the sales of the company and they end up making research on the interaction techniques for capturing the attention of the buyers. Most of the work that was done manually has to be changed mechanically so that more can be sold. (Lawrence, 1995)
The decision making is made targeting the improvement in production, making more profits and reducing the costs of production and therefore the technology helps the decision-makers make faster decisions concerning their company as they have to switch the machines on what is expected for a company to improve in produce and they train the workers in terms of what they had found from the machines instead of sitting and discussing which wastes a lot of time as they have to all agree on the right precautions to be used.
There is also saving of money as the concerned have to take in mind what is expected of the company in terms of the budget layout so that the improvement is made on the parts that are seen to be weak and they need further improvements. The company has to undertake selective training of the sub-group agents this will make the company have a better chance of winning more consumers to their company because the agents will have time to convince the users concerning the items as the time they spend on training this sub-group is taken to the company in working out the right measures for the company.
Through such training then the company is able to compare the extent to which the results of the experimental group with that of the control group to see the extent to which training improves the agent’s performance and therefore know the right precautions to use in ensuring that the agents do what is expected of them. (Lawrence, 1995)
Through this training, the company is able to reduce the cases of losses that could come in their way due to lack of knowledge. The agents serve as the mediators between the company and the buyers and therefore they need to have the best training so that they know how to approach and make the selling in the shortest time possible. The quality of the service given to consumers is given the first priority and therefore in their training, they try to learn what the consumers require, and this is easily done through the technology that is provided by the automobile company. If the right training is not made then they end up getting high losses because these agents will just use the knowledge they have.
The company uses the new system that enables the agents’ performance to be improved and therefore the company will have less make the follow up on how they are working as they can do all the best in the places where they go. The company has to try an incentive structure to ensure that it does not have an effect on the agents’ performance. This is because if the incentive affects the agent then this effect will be extended to the company products and thus the loss will be on them and not the agents.
These agents require incentives that are not hard to deal with and therefore they have to work out all that the company expects and thus the right training has to be imposed on them as they perform their duties and the only way a company can make follow up on the agents is using the technology that will not be costly to them so that they do not make high losses.
When a company makes sure the agents can work well without supervision then the company can stand a better chance of working with the technology that will not have interference in their working style and thus they are able to face the competitive market as they are aware that their agents have the right knowledge on how to work and deal with consumers. For a company to make a proper decision on its product then it has to make use of the technology that will not cost them much and at the same time, it is understood by all the people who work in the company. With new technology that is the supercomputers then work has become easy and thus high production has been made leading to more money because the sales will be high. (Ester, 1990)
The complicated techniques cost a lot to the company and therefore the company finds it hard to use such but if the technique is easily understood then all the concerned in the company will make the right changes and thus leading to changes in sales. The techniques should suit the company’s activities and therefore the concerned do not find it hard as they need to apply the skills they have without wasting time seeking for the knowledge to be applied in such.
Technology should always suit the company in that if it deals with cars for example then the right technology to install in such place should be things like computers for the workers in the offices and also other machines that go together. If a company installs a machine not related to such a company then it means that they will have to find people who can be able to work with them which will be costly as a company has always its workers. This will affect the decision-making process because it gives the company a problem of having to train the people once again and also have the knowledge of how the company works in order to continue as before. Technology has both positive and negative effects on any company.
The positive effects include: a company will get what it requires in the shortest time possible meaning that the manager will not require anywhere to consult but if for example there are computers then the manager will get the working criteria from it without having to call a meeting which is tiresome and wastes a lot of time. Therefore the right guidelines will be found and few changes are made thus the time they could have waste in discussing is taken in working.
With this technology, costs are also limited because in decision making the concerned people need basic needs like food as they discuss but doing it alone saves that amount the could be used. Time is very important for a company to succeed therefore all they need to do is to ensure that time is kept so that they can achieve the sales they require. The negative effect is that to install a certain technology requires knowledge on the use of it and in many companies, the workers lack the skills meaning that the company has not trained the people which will be costly and also it will take time for the workers to accept that technology thus the company will lose.
Technology will lead to the displacement of people in that the people will have to move in search of jobs the company will lose because it will take time for the remaining workers to do as it is expected therefore the product will be limited until they are able to work and thus in making a decision the company has to consult from others with this knowledge. The use of the Internet in automobile companies has been of great help because information concerning the willing buyers will be done through it and thus the company is able to get more income, as buyers will buy more goods.
In the maintenance of the vehicles, the technology has helped the seller because there are machines that can be used to ensure that the machine can stay for a long time. With the technology, it has been simple for the dealers to know the goods that are required by the buyers this can be through the use of the Internet that is a new technology. (Ricky, 1992)
Technology makes a company improve in its production and also in sales and therefore the workers improve in their way of lives. This technology has both effects on the company and the people in that the people end up losing jobs as most of the work will be done by the machines and also the company will have to face the cost of installing such technology in order to benefit which is hard as there is need for the skills in using such machines and therefore to get people with this training is not easy.
It has the effect of affecting the cultures of people in that with new technology then people switch off from their culture and follows the new technology therefore in most places people have done away with their culture. In this automobile company, the techniques help the workers in whatever they perform and also in the selling of their items in the market and in making decisions so as to reduce the time spent in coming up to a conclusion of how the automobiles can be installed and the selling to avoid losses.
