Computers In Business -
-------------------------
In the business world today, computers and the software applications
that run on them basically control a well organized business. Every major
company is equipped with a computer, or network that connects through
different branches throughout the firm.
Computer Hardware:
To keep up with the fastest technology that dominates the market is to
be a sensible buyer. A system can be outdated in a matter of two years
time. Software applications based on today's needs require more hard disk
space and speed to run efficiently. The most powerful system would be the
586 machine which was developed in November, 1992. The space required on a
business system depends on the firm. If a company has a network, their
memory would range on the applications required to run the system
productively. A one to three gigabyte hard drive would be most common for
businesses. To keep these applications on the computer, you need a fair
amount of RAM memory as well as hard disk space. An application developed
in 1993, probably will be to powerful and run quite slow on a previous
system that was 'top of the line' in 1991. That's why it is important for
companies to understand that they must think years down the road before
spending thousands of dollars on the technology of today. The best way is
to prepare for the future such as making sure your mainframe is upgradeable
and contains at least 8 expansion slots, which should already be loaded
with enhanced graphics cards, the necessary amount of serial ports etc..
Networks are everywhere in the world of business. A network is a
series of computers throughout the company which rely on one or two
fileservers. Or it can be used in long distance communication through
modem. An example would be that a company located in Calgary can call up
its other branch in Toronto via modem, also able to up and download
valuable files or records. Networks have their disadvantages also.
Computer viruses are always present somewhere in a disk or computer system
ready to strike. If an over powering, destructive virus enters a network
system, all data can be severely damaged or lost completely. That's why
there is back-up drives to store existing data that is written onto the
disk each day. Anti virus programs are there to alert the user and wipe
the virus off the system before it does any destruction to the data stored
on the network. As far as practicality and mobility is concerned, the
laptop has been around for quite a long time. A laptop computer is a
Could this force the company to continuous innovate to prevent the products from entering a mature market? You have to give the customers reason to upgrade. I think that is why Apple has been so successful – by releasing an updated proprietary product every year (iPhone and iPod). This strategy has allowed them to stay ahead of their competitors, forcing the competitors to chase them and also continuously bring new products to the...
Capital requirements to set up an assembly line to produce PC's are also relatively low, estimated at roughly a million dollars (Rivkin & Porter,1999 pg. 5) which means that virtually any firm can enter the market easily. Despite sky rocketing demands for PC's, PC producers are unable to capitalize due to increasing number of competitors. The PC industry is also affected by environmental turbulence due to price fluctuations of its components. Constant innovation in PC technology causes older components to be rendered obsolete and prices of older versions to plummet. PC producers who are stuck with inventory of obsolete products incur high costs of dumping these components.
The main concern about Computron is that if the bid of 1000X should not higher than 20% of least bid to get the contract. It is strongly recommended to get the bid for functioning of new plant. Various issues regarding cutting down prices, bidding high or low and its pros-cons, current market situation and the competitors is discussed here.
All they needed was someone to use it. To illustrate, Romano identified only 110 installations by August 1990, nearly two years after the procedure was developed, with 77 percent of these in two major firms [13]. Perhaps this phase, in the process of introducing the new procedure, could be called "the period of wild over-promise." However, even by the mid-1990s, ABC has not spread widely throughout the industry and "even in large firms, widespread success of ABC is not obvious" [16].

The factory of the future might only need a human and a dog to keep it running: a dog to make sure that no-one tampers with the machines, and a human to feed the dog (Silva). This world is changing, and machines are practically taking over the workforce. When a person walks into a business, a home, or even at school there will be some piece of technology. Given, technology is only to make the world a better place. The only problem is, when it is used as a worker instead of a tool, that job is no longer human dependent. Machines are turning into the backbone of America, unfortunately. Even the most basic of jobs should be done by humans, with technology only being used as a tool, not the worker.
Why does the older equipment cause so many problems ?The main reason is system overload
The Impact of Technology on Business The words business, trade, and exchange of commodities are all synonyms. In the early age of civilization business was carried out on the basis of Bata trade as currency came into existence and there were business set Ups. Our perception started to change towards business but more so since the last 50 yrs with the advent of the information technology the world has turned around. With the establishment of the Internet, business has become globalized.
The world is getting smaller, yet remains full of possibilities due in part to technology. Interestingly, the very first emails could only be sent to someone using two computers, literally side by side. Technology dates back to the first manipulations of materials to assist in human survival. There are many definitions for technology, John D. Carl describes technology stating,” it deals with the creation, use, and application of knowledge and its’ interrelation with life, society, and the environment” (Carl, J.D., 2011, p.301). For the purpose of this paper, any instrument, invention, or method influencing and allowing people to control or adapt to their environment, is technology. With the increased availability of technological tools (smart phones, text messaging, image scanning, email, and social media), communication is rapidly changing. Society has moved beyond the Industrial Age and into the Information Age, where the sharing of knowledge and ideas is the new driver of power and world economy. Technology possesses many merits, and as with any tool, it carries drawbacks. Misuse and overuse creates unsavory dependence. This dependence can have adverse affects on people, business, and education. Technology receives vast criticism for reducing face-to-face interactions. Although the information technology of today is widely held as impersonal, it promotes communication; technology reduces costs and leverages productivity by facilitating access to information and knowledge, and augmenting interaction amongst those who utilize technology.

They are facing a severe capital expenditure problem. They couldn’t run new software on the equipment they purchased 2 years ago and it is no longer useful. They require a reliable, predictable usage – linked cost structure. They want to buy fewer boxes but get maximum capacity and coverage to stay competitive.
