Author(s): Mona Abd Elghany, Nermin Khalifa

The article examines and assesses the vital issues, current trends, and future path of Modern Technological Advancement Practices in organizational studies, and provides an analytical explanation, critical perspective, and comprehensive conclusion. IT is often regarded as a critical enabler of technical and economic development. Managers use new technology to alter the organisation, the work nature, relationships with businesses’ partners, or other aspect of the firm. In commercial companies, governments, and research, information technology (IT) acts a critical role in maximizing efficiency and productivity. The infrastructure of any organisation, which includes computers, network and telecommunication technologies, data, and essential software applications, determines the value of IT. Information Technology (IT) is currently a force of modern technological development and globalisation, allowing for more effective and efficient information management. All management actions that decide the objectives, policy application, and duties, as well as their practice in an organisation in terms of planning, assigning resources, organising, and assuring outcomes for processes improvement, fall under the category of technology management. The following are the key IT Management issues: technology use to design effective and efficient organisations; an information technology development plan for the organisation; IT consideration as a part of the corporate strategy; benefiting of interorganizational systems; making decisions on new IT applications; business processes reengineering; changing the organization; and the management of the IT infrastructure in a time of technological change. For technological advancement, knowledge and skills are both a necessitated and sufficient requirement. In this ever-changing business, developing countries need sufficiently competent IT personnel to design, implement, and manage information technology. As a result, a scarcity of qualified and internationally recognised IT experts is impeding IT adoption and development. IT Management denotes the IT-related management operations in organisations, whereas Management Information Systems denote information management methodologies associated to the support or automation of human decision making.
