Topic- To identify the challenges of integrating new technology in an
enterprise. A case study on Aldi.
INTRODUCTION
The era of technological improvement's is running at an exponentially increasing rate
(Vajjhala and Strang, 2018). Thus, it is one of the dominating factor that aids to shape the
competitiveness of enterprise. There are number of enterprises that uses technical advancements
to manage the specific task on daily basis. Furthermore, managing technical advancement is
inclusive of planning, designing, optimizing, operating and controlling technical commodities.
The present report is based on business activities of Tesco, deals in multinational
groceries and provide services as being retail sector. Furthermore, assignment will focus on
number of topic as aims and objective will be framed on the basis of research topic, the literature
review will be conducted based on objectives.
Literature review
The term literature review is defined as comprehensive summary of previous research on
topic. It can be conducted with help of survey, online articles and other resources.
Technology is crucial factor that put major effects on operational activities of enterprise.
As per the view of Quinlan and et.al., (2019) it can be stated that Technology is very helpful in
terms to operate business function effectively and efficiently with minimal manpower.
With use of advances and latest technology the business can carry out all the activities of
the business with less time and resources with giving the effective results. Technology is the
necessity of the present time as with this business can deliver the effective outcome with
engagement of lesser and money and manpower resources. Effects of technological
advancements are both positive as well negative on the business. It definitely makes working
very simple with saving time and increase the production. The communication gets simpler with
improving the health and safety of the employees and aloes effectively enhances the education
environment. The new and latest technology have become the need of the present time and
significant and integral part of the life style. This assist the business in saving the cost and time
of the production. However, Perring and et.al., (2015), present the views that the technological
advancements have negative impact on the bunnies and its operation which give rise to many
challenges. A business have to face. The first is the changing technologies with a faster pace and
1

to adhere by it technology must be adopted to business, this declivity increase the cost as the
experiment to procure the technology, implementation as well on the training of the employee to
make them Aquitaine with the technology. Moreover, exposer to the latest equipments with the
latest technology increase the risk of health issues as most of them emit harmful rays or include
use of harmful chemical, leading to have a negative effect on the health of the person using it or
operating it. As per the views of Govindaraj, Vetriventhan and Srinivasan, (2015)With the latest
technology the major cost that is faced by an organisation is obsoletion of the former technology.
This effects the profits as well working capital of the organization and directly have an impact on
the performance of the business. Sometimes the image of the organisation is linked with the use
of latest and updated technology so it becomes essential for the business to get updates time to
time and remain at the same position with maintaining the same level of reputation in the market.
On the contrary Vigneshvar and et.al.,(2016) is of the view that technological
advancements are integral part of business enterprises making is importance for each and every
organisation to adapt to the latest technology. With this the organisation becomes more
productive and their performances gets boosted up. Technology advancement has simplified the
way we do things, it saves time, it increases on production, it simplifies communication, it has
improved health care and it has also improved our educational environment. Negatively,
technology advancement has made humans so lazy, technology users are so dependent on new
advance tech tools, this laziness has resulted into less innovation, it has increased on health risks
because technology users exercise less. This directly effects the environment having both
positive and negative impact on the environment.
