The project that I am working on is assessing the impacts of technology on business operations. This is a fascinating topic because technology has two sides to the impacts. It has both negative and positive impacts. Positive impacts are essential in enhancing business operations. Negative impacts, on the other hand, may likely cause the business to fail. Therefore all business operators must focus on enhancing positive ones and, on the other hand, mitigate the adverse impacts of technology. My thesis statement that I have come up with the use of technology and how this has impacted a business's operations both positively and negatively (Lee, et al, 2019).
The project outline for my project will contain five main sections; however, I will address subsections in my project. The first section of my project is the introduction. This is where I have discussed technology and the impact that it has on business entities briefly, how technology can be used in production and other business services. From there, the next section will be on the background regarding the technology. This is where I will talk about technology, how it has been utilized in different industries, and how this has continued to impact the business industry. In the background, I will discuss how it has become almost very impossible for a company to operate without technology, especially in this competitive world. I will also discuss technology's issue, and many opportunities brought due to this, which probably could not be got if the technology was never utilized (Armat, et al, 2018).
Next will be the problem statement. This is the challenge that I have seen in businesses operating without technology and what information I want to collect and solve due to this research, which I am going to develop. The problem, in this case, the impacts that technology has on the business sector. After identifying the problem that I am solving, the next thing is the purpose statement; this is like my goal and aim: to assess both sides of the technological impacts that it presents the business to. My study's significance is that no one can deny the significant impacts and benefits that have been brought through the use of technology. I will later develop the research hypothesis and the questions, and my research question will be how technology has impacted a business's operations. As I will be undertaking my project, the next chapter will be a chapter on methodologies. This is where I will discuss the methodologies that I will employ to collect my data and analyze it. My research project will employ qualitative research, and the data to be used in the analysis will be from other scholars how they have talked about and document this same topic. I will also review materials that have been written over the last three years. I will have a chance to obtain these materials from online libraries and other sources that I am aware of their reliabilities. The methodology for the research that I have chosen is because it is a speedy and easy method to obtain all the information to help me develop my research. The next section that I will focus on is analyzing the data that I have collected using the methodologies mentioned earlier (Haseeb, et al, 2019).
Regarding analysis, I will use the relational concept analysis since coming at getting impacts that are presented on operations of a business through the use of technology. After analyzing, the last section will be documenting the findings, and my findings, in this case, will be the impacts of the technology, which will be both negative and positive. The last thing I will discuss is the conclusion of the study (Johnston, 2017).
