| Abstract | In this age of high competition, technology is clearly one of the dominant
fact of the modern world. It is also necessary for the success and survival of
organizations to analyze the role of chang·ing technology on the performance of
their organizations. Researchers have developed a number of productivity
measurement models for analyzing the performance of the organizations. Thoug·h
these existing models for productivity measurement are undeniably important in
evaluating· economic viability of an org·anization, but in these models the actual
performance of technology is not clearly represented. This study is an attempt to
dev elop a methodology which helps in assessing the role of chang·ing technolog·y in
organizations. The methodology for measuring technological productivity suggested.
in this study is for a multi-product discrete production organization. The
methodology is based on four components of technology namely technoware (physical
facilities ), humanware (human abilities), inforware (documented facts), and org·aware
(org·anizational framework). The application of the methodology at the organization
level is tested in a multi-product discrete production organization through the
historical data of five different products for last five year production. It is found
that the methodology can be useful to. evaluate the changing technolog·y at
different level of decision ma.king· related to technology, particularly those
organizations who use t echnology when it is cost effective. The proposed
methodology has certain limitation which are pointed out in this study and
suggestions are made for further study. |
