Technological environment.
Technological advances are perhaps the most dramatic forces
affecting todays marketing strategies. We have heard the word
online marketing which is totally based on the technology. Because
of the technology we can get the information regarding market,
products, customers, prices etc through net. We need not to go
market to order something, to know something moreover to buy
something. Marketers also can inform or remind the customers about
the product through internet.
Technological environment is the forces that create new technologies,
creating new product and market opportunities.
It should keep in mind that technological environment changes
rapidly. Think of todays entire common product that was not available
100 years ago.
Features of technology
We live in the age of technology. Because of using modern
technology, the quality of life are enhancing day by day. Technology
has some special features. These are as follows1. Future shocks: The important feature of technology is change

rights? Are they fair and just in distributing benefits and burdens?
Each question raises slightly different ethical issues.
1. Benefits and costs: It is used to determine whether an action
produces utility or useful things for society as a whole. If benefits
exceed costs then some useful results. It suggests that plans and
actions should be evaluated by their importance. The underlying idea
is that plans and actions should produce the greatest good for the
greatest number of people. The main limitation of cost- benefit
analysis is the difficulty of accurately measuring both cost and
benefits.
2. Rights: Human rights are another basis for judging ethics. It
holds that all people have basic rights such as the rights to freedom of
reservations free speech and due process. Nobody can interfere about
the basic rights of others. Denying these rights or failing to protect
them for other persons and groups in normally considered being
unethical.
3. Justice: A third principle of ethical reasoning concerns justice.
The theory of justice demands that decision makers be guided by
fairness and equality as well as impartiality. Each society must work
out its own ways of establishing justice amongst the people who live
there. The rules will vary from society to society. Justice refers to the
fair distribution of benefits and burdens among the people in a
society, usually expressed by some agreed upon rule.
At last we can say, utility, rights and justices may be used in ethical
reasoning. There is no simple rule to tell which questions is the mostimportant. In most situations, all three ideas can be usually applied to
shed greater light on the ethics involve.
