Technology is constantly shaping and chaning the flow of information in today's society. As new advancements in technology emerge and are adopted into mainstream culture, business organizations will have to choose one of two ways to react: they can either ignore them by continuing to operate in the same way, or they can update their business to incorporate new technology and take advantage of what it has to offer. The problem businesses may have with technology is knowing what should be incorporated and what should be left behind. Will this new advancement appeal to consumers and workers on a long-term basis? Will it be a dying fad? Or will it never catch on? These are the questions organizations must assess and answer by weighing the pros and cons before making any decisions.
Cell phones have become an increasing necessity for people all over the world. There is a huge competitive mobile market that is being updated constantly. Many new technologies that have been added to cell phones have improved the business world on different levels. As more and more mobile technologies emerge, which ones will become popular and useful? Cell phones can revolutionize a business as a whole by changing the quality of:
- communication
- organization
- networking
- competitive forces
- employee, manager and customer knowledge
- the flow of information
- resource availability
- product appeal
How will a business optimize productivity? How can a group do the best job possible? Workers have to be connected and equally part of the processes to complete a task. Mobile phones are an easy way to connect people at any time anywhere with constant updated information which yields effective collaboration. However, too much reliance on cell phones may take away from the quality of the work environment because it is less personal and reliable than face-to-face interaction. All the above listed factors can increase or decrease work quality depending on the mobile technologies organizations choose to adopt.
