I ask myself these questions, not necessarily in this order:

1. Will the change/s hinder or shut down production or cause a safety concern?

2. Will the change/s improve performance resulting in more efficient production?

3. Does the cost negatively/positively affect profitability now, or over time?

4. Does the change/s improve the working environment?

5. Is the change/s in BETA, or a new technology that will be upgraded/improved over time?

The answer to the questions above help me determine if the change/s are to be applied as soon as possible, can be deferred, or if it's practical for a specific situation. Though we like to believe technology is moving forward in a positive direction, it isn't always the case when applied to a specific situation. It's important to consider the time it takes to work out any bugs or defects, especially if safety or production can be affected in a negative way. A smart manager will hardly ever be an early adopter of new technologies or upgrades without intensive research.

How does technology change an organization?

The increase of technology in an organisation means managers can handle a wider span of responsibility. This reduces the need for junior and middle managers. When managers are let go there are fewer levels of hierarchy in the organisation, which makes communication easier between senior managers and the workforce. The senior management can therefore get changes implemented faster and receive feedback faster from the employees, which makes the organisation able to respond faster to changes in the business environment. A more flexible organisation can survive better in a competitive market. Hence the introduction of technology will make middle management jobs less secure, but other employees more secure.

What are some changes that are impacting managers' jobs?

Two main groups of changes affect managers' jobs and are significant to an organization: external forces and internal forces. With external forces, the need for change comes from various sources outside the organization: marketplace, governmental laws and regulations, technology, labor markets, and economic changes. Internal forces originate from the internal operations of the organization or from the impact of external changes. They include redefining an organization's strategy, workforce, new equipment, and employee attitudes. Both types of changes are critical to the success of a manager and his/her organization.
