Effect of the Technological Changes on the Organizations

This research will study the effect of the technological changes on the organization as well as on the employees working in organizations. The PSI surveys on use of microelectronics in industry have shown that the introduction of new technology has met very little resistance from shop floor workers, management or other groups within user factories. In order to find out more about the management of change involving microelectronics applications, we asked respondents about management policies on technology, the extent and form of consultations with the affected staff, and the degree of acceptance of new technology encountered over recent years. The sample size for this study is 10 and selected from the North Indian cities, Ambala, Amritsar, Fatehgarh sahib, Kurukshetra, Rajpura, Sirhind and Patiala. The data used for the study is primary data. The tools used for the analysis purpose are descriptive statistics, Regression analysis and chi square test.
