 Technology is a very important primary aspect of organizational structure in the modern age.
 The technology represent all the resources with which people work and affects the task that they
perform.
 It provides economic or physical resources to make people’s job easily. Technology also put restriction
on the freedom of people.
 Organizations work on technologies to help people in efficiently doing their work. Same technology
does not apply to each Organization but different Organizations demand different technologies for
their different line of businesses e.g. bank needs mediating technology which connects customers and
bankers, Manufacturing companies need long linked technology because of their assembly line process,
and hospitals work on intensive technology because of their responsibility to provide specialized
services in terms of doctors and medical equipment's.
