Technology
Computers allow organisations of all types and sizes, locally and internationally, to speed transactions and improve decision-making.
In ‘virtual space’ people in remote locations can hold meetings, access common databases, share information/files, make plans and solve problems together, without having to meet face to face.

Planned and unplanned change
A performance gap is a discrepancy between the desired and actual state of affairs.
Planned change is a direct response to a person’s perception of a performance gap.
Unplanned changes occur spontaneously without the benefit of a change agent’s attention; examples of unplanned changes could include a strike, plant closure or interpersonal conflict.
