Abstract

Technology changes quickly and continuously, providing capabilities that may be applied for business advantage. Management must understand how well the technology fits the needs of the people for whom it is intended. Various tools like document management, information maps, information guides and groupware are technologies that can help an organization handle the problem of changing information culture, but the change must be encompassing the organization and must originate in management and not in technology. The rate at which ICT grow is much faster than management s ability to learn how to use it. ICT have reinforced a shift in demand from low-skilled to skilled professionals which lead to a demand for further training. Better management practices coupled with effective ICT (Information and Communications Technologies) play a vital role in enhancing business performance. newline newline
