Impact of technology on Überbartools
Technology has significantly impacted the physical layout of Überbartools by its abilities to expand their market in various locations around the world, reducing the amount of employees and workload. This is mainly due to the efficiency of new programs and software in various areas, for example in finance accounting. This is exemplified from Mr Silvers’ statement that his original business had three employees in finance accounting. However, due to the assistance of technology Überbartools now needs to employ only one employee in this sector. Additionally, the workload has substantially reduced, therefore allowing more time in other areas, for instance the primary target market. Überbartools uses Skype to communicate between their locations. Mr Silvers uses Skype everyday day to contact his business partner Sam Tam about the short-term needs of the company.
Above all, technology has vastly transformed the business environment and created a more globalised world via the efficiency and consistency of the technology available today.
