The emergence of new technologies has forced businesses, competitors, and other industries to adapt to remain relevant in the market. Over the last few years, organizations have been integrating the upcoming technologies to gain a competitive advantage as they strive to increase their return on investment (Ramey 2012). They are using the latest tech to enhance the attention of the customers towards their products and services. Some have already implemented smart manufacturing, digital marketing, and many other emerging technologies to promote their brand as they strive to increase their market share (Manyika et al. 2013). Before adopting new technologies, businesses are considering several processes and steps to ensure successful integration. The first step is to establish the organization's technology and evaluate how it will change the organization. Based on priorities, the organization will opt for the systems that are accessible, reliable, and affordable. Once it has been established, the organization then considers productive support where difficulties are mitigated during integration (Makela 2012). Employees are trained, and user manuals are provided to have an easier time implementing the new technology. The next step is ensuring there is no impulse to rush since it could result in poor implementation. It means that pilot programs should be introduced where the new technology is tested before implementing the entire organization.

Another essential step is transparency; in this case, clarity aims to reduce the friction that may arise when the new technology is introduced. Employees should be updated on the new developments since they might resist the new technology and derail its implementation (Desjardins 2018). Organizations are building value for their technology, and this is achieved by communicating with the employees and providing all the benefits that are to be achieved after the new technology has been implemented. Once integrated, the organizations have to maintain the momentum; since technological changes are frequently happening, the organizations focus on implementing newer technologies that will enhance their performance and increase their growth (Makela 2012). Maintaining momentum means that the technological changes must be communicated to the employee to oversee the changes and enhance their implementation. Despite their size and reachability, organizations are exploring different means of increasing their productivity, efficiency, and performance. As a result, they must implement newer technologies to accomplish their mission (Manyika et al. 2013). Therefore, introducing new technologies is vital since it will play a critical role in running a successful organization. It is expected that in the next two decades, technology will revolutionize business since they will become fully dependent on technology.
