1COLLABORATIVE MEASURES IN ORGANISATION
In the article ‘Collaborative overload’ by Cross, Rebele and Grant, has discussed the
situation in the current organizations around the world. The CEOs, Human Resource
Managers and other higher authorities are facing numerous problems associated with the
employees. First of all, the employees of an organization are the backbone of the company.
Secondly, the improvement in the technological sphere is affecting the workplace for which
either the employees are leaving their organizations or the management are replacing them
with machines in order to cut cost. The chief aim is to increase productivity of the employees
so that they can support the measures of the companies as well as complete tasks more
perfectly than technology. This particular article discusses the collaboration to be the means
to maintain healthy work culture in the companies in one hand and maintain flow of
knowledge and resources in the company. All the three article somehow related with
employees and impact of proper management skills. Be it a machine, algorithm or human
employee all need managers to direct them. Proper guidance is the method to utilize these
elements of production of a firm.
This article focuses on the method of collaboration which help the companies to
maintain their human resources more profitably. However, in the article ‘Algorithms need
managers, too’, Luca, Kleinberg and Mullainathan has analysed the algorithms can
successfully predict the future of the companies. The responses of algorithm lead to
customers’ satisfaction, quality management and obviously the production and sales. It can
help the companies in identifying subtle patterns which the human employees may overlook.
Algorithms are capable to generate accurate insights and help managers to make the best
decisions. Despite all these assistances there are problems too. As the authors have said,
“Algorithms tend to be myopic. They focus on the data at hand—and that
data often pertains to short-term outcomes” (Luca, Kleinberg and Mullainathan
2016). This is the reason, the authors support the fact that the managers who use algorithms,

need to be more efficient to understand the risks or limitations of these then unlock this
highly potential technique.
In the article named Beyond Automation by Davenport and Kirby, discuss another problem
that the mangers face while emerging technologies are used and controlled by the human
employees of the company. The emerging problem of replacing employees through machine
in the workplaces especially in the manufacturing sector and use of artificial intelligence in
working as the employees. as the business is becoming more cross cultural the issues among
the employees are increasing. In this context, using automation in the workplaces reduce cost
as well as other human problems. In this article, the authors have analyzed steps which the
people usually follow when a new technology is introduced. According to the authors,
machines and human employees need to have coexistence in an organization so that
technology can augment human strengths and fill the gap created by the machine knowledge.
What are the effects of resources in team work?
As the core article ‘Collaborative overload’ have discussed that employees largely
depend on various types of resources. These include personal, social and informative
resources. For creating values, the employees use different resources in different ways to
solve any problem as well as in completing tasks efficiently. The informational resources are
effective which can be recorder and passed from one employee to another, the social
resources are based on the personal access to the networks, involve individual’s awareness
and position. On the other hand, the personal resources include personal skills a time.
Moreover, other resources can be replenished by the personal resources are finite and need
more time and energy to acquire. This is the chief fact that create difference among the
human employees. Some have a large pool of personal resources and some have less. These
latter employees request for help to the highly resources employees which reduce
