...MANAGING TECHNOLOGY 1 Managing Technology Research Paper JMM March 30 2010 95-250 MANAGING TECHNOLOGY 2 Technology has profound effects on almost every modern facet of today’s world. Understanding and working with technology is fundamental to any person striving to be an elite competitor in their respective field. Whether the person is an athlete, a teacher, a trades worker, or a businessman a thorough knowledge and utilization of the available tech related to that field is needed to be an industry leader. This may not seem like an overly difficult task, but the fact of the matter is that technology is constantly changing and advancing, at a speed that is increasing exponentially. These advancements bring about changes in the field itself that are generally positive in the sense that tasks become easier allow for more time efficiency, but it is nearly impossible to keep up. Sport management is a field that has evolved to become fairly dependent on technology.

This is true in both the public and private sector. Bateman (2013) describes technology as “the systematic application of scientific knowledge to a new product, process, or service and innovation as a change in method or technology” (p. 602). In this paper I will elaborate on two agencies. As a Federal employee, I see technology and innovation impact organizations in both a positive and negative manners. First, let’s look at the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the healthcare industry. Over the years there has been ground breaking innovation in medical technology. One would think this to be a positive impact on the industry but there is also a negative aspect. McClellan (2003) emphasizes “with these unprecedented technological achievements have also come unprecedented concerns about the total spending on healthcare and, in particular, about the rising spending on these new medical technologies”. Will the benefits outweigh the cost? The even bigger question is, can those that need this technology afford to get it? The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has also made great strides in both technology and innovation. The most obvious being the transition from paper filed returns to electronic filing (E-filing).
