The Impact of Technological

Change on Business Activity

Business technology has revolutionized the way

companies conduct business. Small businesses

can implement business technology and level the

playing field with larger organizations.

3

Importance

Small business owners can use technology to

reduce business costs. Business technology helps

automate back office functions, such as record

keeping, accounting and payroll.

Business owners can also use technology to

create secure environments for maintaining

sensitive business or consumer information.

4

Features

Business technology can help small businesses

improve their communication processes. Emails,

texting, websites and personal digital products

applications, known as “apps," can help

companies improve communication with

consumers.

5

Function

Small businesses can increase their employees'

productivity through the use of technology.

Computer programs and business software

usually allow employees to process more

information than manual methods. Business

owners can also implement business technology

to reduce the amount of human labor in business

functions.

6

Potential

Technology allows small businesses to reach new

economic markets. Rather than just selling

consumer goods or services in the local market,

small businesses can reach regional, national and

international markets. Retail websites are the most

common way small businesses sell products in

several different economic markets.

7

Consideration

Business technology allows companies to

outsource business function to other

businesses in the national and international

business environment.

Outsourcing can help company’s lower

costs and focus on completing the

business function they do best.

8

For instance, Transforming

Enterprises through Mobile

Applications One example of mobile enhancement can be

seen in the emergence of location-based applications.

Logistics and transportation providers, such as UPS and FedEx for example, are leveraging GPS applications to provide their workers with information to avoid traffic congestions, propose alternate routes and direct them to the next pick-up/delivery location.

9

Mobile Apps as an Example

• Track My Work Force allows employers

to stay connected with your team and to

see where they are in real time.

• Global customers are in the

Pharmaceutical, Construction, Food,

Consumer Goods and Delivery business

and they all have sales representetives

in the field.

10

Mobile Apps as an Example

Evernote

• This free,

straightforward note-

making app outrivals

most competing apps

thanks to its strong

search capabilities

and effortless

organization.

11

Mobile Apps as

Google Docs&Sheets

• Google Drive users can access their files with the Google Drive app, but

you'll need the Docs app to edit them or create new Word processing

documents.

How technology changed the

way business in NETFLIX…

When Reed Hastings launched Netflix in

1997, his idea didn't make sense to a lot

of people.

DVD players had only been on the

market for a few months, and many

families were still using VHS tapes to

watch movies.

13

NETFLIX cont.

By July 2011, more than a decade after

opening its virtual doors, Netflix had more

than 25 million subscribers in the U.S. and

Canada.

Netflix attributes much of this growth to

increased amounts of online streaming

content, availability on a wide range of

electronic devices and strong word-of-

mouth recommendations.

14

NETFLIX Web Site &

Envelope

The two most visible parts of the Netflix enterprise

are the red mailing envelopes and the Web site.

The patented envelope is essentially an ordinary

mailing envelope with an extra long, removable

flap.

15

NETFLIX Envelope The envelope has been through several

revisions as Netflix has refined its shipping

methods and tried to become more

profitable. These include the following:

1. The addition of advertisements on the

back of the flap.

2. The addition of a small slot that displays

the barcode of the disc inside.

3. The removal of instructions on how to

place the disc in the mailer.

16

Content Streaming on

NETFLIX When you subscribe to Netflix streaming,

the following Netflix features are available

to you:

An "Instant" queue alongside your "DVD"

queue.

Play" buttons in both your DVD and

"Instant" queues if the content is available

for streaming.

17

Content Streaming cont

Options throughout the site to "Play" or "Add to Instant Queue" in addition to the red "Add" and green "Save" options for the DVD queue.

Streaming access via more than 200 different devices, including game consoles (the Wii, Xbox 360 and PS3), mobile devices (iPhone, iPad and iPod touch), and Apple TV and Google TV.

RFID

20

RFID (Radio Frequency

Identification) Some businesses have even begun to use

RFID chip implants in humans to tighten security. An access control reader detects the chip's signal and permits the employee access to the door. But many people are concerned about privacy issues if this were to become widespread practice.
