From the Paper:
"Today's technology and management functions cannot be viewed as separate functions because technology is the primary tool used by managers to deploy, implement, instruct, teach, and lead their teams in the business environment. This makes technology knowledge a key skill area for members of management in businesses today. Technology when used effectively can drive the business to new growth and expansion as well as allowing the business to attain never before levels of excellence and profitability however, in contrast when technology is ill-used all the business process are impacted and at every level of business."
