SUMMARY
In any society, industry or institution, the level of technology plays a significant role in determining what product and services will be produced, what equipment will be used, and how various operations will be managed. (Stoner and Wankel 1986), perhaps that is why technology has remained the most pervasive element among all others.
            Technology is the method of doing things; it is the complex of techniques through which an organization accomplishes its goals and objectives. Technology has two major components which are equipments and knowledge possessed by employers and employees within the organization. In organizational perspective, technology influences the method of doing things-how goods are designed, produced and distributed as well as how services are rendered. The analysis above shows that any organization that fails to keep abreast of the technological development in its industry is bound to reduce its market share drastically.
