CRITICAL MANAGEMENT PERSPECTIVES
1. Introduction
Technology has brought about changes in the society and the way that the people of
the society have been using the changes in technology to their advantage. It has changed the
way that people in today's society think, develop themselves and work (Rodriguez, Peterson
and Ajjan 2015). The changes that have been brought about in the society contributes to the
success of a lot of individuals. Technology has the potential to contribute a lot of the growth
and the advancement of businesses. The relationship that technology and the society shares
with each other can be attributed to the impacts that technology has been creating on the
businesses in the society (Trainor et al. 2014). This report contains the organisational issue
and the way that they keep up with the pace with the rapid changes in the digital
environment. The study will contain the two main critical success factors of the issue which
are learning and change. The report will also discuss about the two models of change which
are Lewin's change management model and post modernism theory based on digital change.
The report will discuss about the big idea which will help of organisations to adapt to the
changes that occur to the changes in the digital environment. The big idea may or may not be
ground breaking, but would help the organisation to take advantage of the rapid changes in
technology.
