Thoughts on Emerging Technology [microform] / Stephen C. Hall.

Technology is growing in exponential leaps as capabilities increase and prices decrease. In some cases, advancement occurs so rapidly that, just as one technology becomes known, a succeeding one emerges. Such rapid change introduces a need for frequent reevaluation of equipment and application strat...

520 |a Technology is growing in exponential leaps as capabilities increase and prices decrease. In some cases, advancement occurs so rapidly that, just as one technology becomes known, a succeeding one emerges. Such rapid change introduces a need for frequent reevaluation of equipment and application strategies and of the organizational learning process; it takes considerably more work to get individuals to apply their acquired skills collaboratively than it does to train them singly. It is important for every organization that can benefit from or be affected by technological innovations to attend closely to developments, and to cultivate an appreciation for both the full costs and the replacement costs associated with information technology. Educational institutions in particular must learn to become aware of the true costs of technology and learn the different management styles that emerging technologies demand; Harvard's Office for Information Technology (OIT) serves as an example of this approach. Information technology affords tremendous opportunity to Harvard and other universities, and will consume a significant portion of all faculty operating budgets in the future as universities learn to manage older technologies, while newer technologies, demanding fresh perspectives and approaches from management, are introduced.
