Technology Drives Business—Learn or Get Left Behind (TPI Business Management, June/July ’06). The US Chamber of Commerce notes, “In 1908, Henry Ford’s automobiles became affordable for average Americans, due to the company’s increased productivity and to reduced costs from a reinvented assembly line. Ford’s innovative technology sparked a revolution that changed America and the world forever and drove many of his competitors out of business. . . . Many small business owners use computer technology grudgingly. They aren’t taking advantage of technological innovations to improve their businesses. . . Don’t dismiss the need to learn how to use this modern technology just because you don’t understand it or don’t see how it applies to your business. Don’t believe you can continue to have success without modernizing your business through technology.”
