Technology and Business Management

Hi everyone!

My major is business management.  As we discussed in class, business and technology go hand and hand.  Technology is changing the way businesses run, and technology has defiantly changed the type of work managers do and how they do so.  I found a www.youtube.com video that talks about the IBM business.  The guy states that he works for "a performance management company that provides businesses with technology solutions that help companies drive forward their business performance." The guy also talks about how management must use technology and change certain areas of their company they will grow as the tecnology grows and it will mazamize their businesses potential.  The guy also uses the metaphor of a big cruise ship, and how the workers need an "instrument panel" to help understand whats going on, and what they must manage and instruct the other workers to do.  The "instrument panel" is an example of technology and how technology can help managers understand what is going on and what needs to be done in a company.  The video was very cool, and easy to understand, especially with the metaphor of the cruise ship.  Check it out!
