The Influence of Technological Development on Organisational Productivity

Anita Bans-Akutey

Abstract: When top management of organisations invest hard earned resources in technology, their objective in most cases is to increase productivity while ensuring that internal processes become more efficient and effective. The reality after implementing the said technology tends to be sometimes disappointing as a lot of factors are not thoroughly considered prior to the implementation phase. Technological development has pervasively interfered with all aspects of business activities in ways that a business entity cannot afford to indifferent when issues of technological development are being considered. Areas like manpower levels, organisational staff size, information management, quality of products, services and processes. In addition to these areas which are affected by technological development, institutionalising the technological process comes with additional effects. It is therefore recommended that future research looks at empirical studies to ascertain how the digital divide mediates the influence of technology on a business organisation considering the contexts of both developing and developed countries.
