Ans: Technology is the harbinger of change. Many a times resistance of change or the
fear of new technology is the most impeding factors in spread of the technology.
Organizations which lag behind in moving to new technologies slowly but surely vanish
in thin air. Thus its very important for dynamic Organizations to uic!ly move on to
emerging technologies to maintain competitive edge on its rivals. To do so the decision
ma!ers of the Organization should feel comfortable with the technology. They should be
the party of every new implementation so that they can whole heartedly embrace the
new technology. This will ma!e managers comfortable with the new technology. "ence
it is very important for new managers to obtain hands-on experience of critical bsiness
application soft!are and si"ple e-bsiness !ebsite i"ple"entations.
