ROLE OF TECHNOLOGY HSBC: HSBC role of technology:

Modern information technology (IT) is understood to be the result of a meeting between modern digital computing and communication technologies. Modern information technology (IT) and computing the modern digital communication technologies between the outcome of this meeting is to be understood. The significance of IT is as the core of an 'Information System' which consists of a series of interactions between people, data, hardware and software, organizations and their social environment. The importance of this ', is a foundation of information system' which the social environment and their organization consisting of a series of conversations between people, data, hardware and software.

Information and its connected technologies are now so vital to business success that information is regularly regarded as an independent issue of invention on a same level with capital, land and labor. Information and technology vital to business success now that information with the investors and workers, the level of invention on a routine matter as an independent count. In the twenty-first century every business manager must understand the role which information technology plays, not only in their organization but also in the wider society, within which their organization must compete. Competition, the twenty first century will be all business on their organization and understand the manager role should not information technology plays in society is widespread, organized them.

A full understanding of information technology is impossible without considering its communication with the social world in which it has developed. A complete understanding of information technology has developed the world it is impossible without considering the social communication with him. Computer professionals who are ignorant of the social, political, and economic political aspect of their work are fated to be the put up of 'decision-makers' who are. Computer professionals who work with them are ignorant, political, economic and political factor is social tolerance are lucky 'by which decision makers.

In the real world a frequent cause of the failure of IT projects is an overlook of the human (including managerial and organizational) factors at work. No business or computing professional can, therefore, ignore the 'softer' elements in Information Systems, which paradoxically, often prove the hardest to get right! Failure in the real world because of her projects is a continuous work in an organization), including the management of human factors and pass, any business or computing system, therefore, ignored information about business, can elements in ' Medium 'which, unlike, most of the right to prove the most difficult to achieve!

THE COMPUTING ENVIRONMENT: computing environment:

"Linking together definitions of 'information' and 'technology' from the Shorter Oxford English Dictionary", 'information technology' means 'the systematic study of the industrial arts relating to the communication of instructive knowledge'. "Adding information 'with praise' and English Dictionary" Oxford 'technology' from small, 'information' knowledge of technology communication education 'means' related art industrial training conducted. This definition includes studying printing, or, for that matter, smoke signals. Included in this definition, studied printing or, for that matter, smoke signals. However the general usage today, is more like the definition employed by (1988,) 'the application of computers and telecommunications to the collection, processing, storage, and dissemination of voice, graphics, text, and numerical information'. However, general use today, storage is much appreciated by this work (1988, applied for) of telecommunications and computer storage, processing, and dissemination of sound,, text, graphics, and numerical information '.

One famous development in recent years has been the convergence of communications and computer technology, with both becoming intensive users of data embodied in binary digital form and processed by microprocessors on silicon chips. Popular in recent years on developing a silicon processed by microprocessors and chips is in binary form with digital technology, computer and communications convergence was embodied both figures to be intense users. Therefore 'IT' is normally used in the broad modern sense to encompass both computing and telecommunications technologies. In some books, IT is used more narrowly to refer principally to computing and 'ICTs' to refer to information and communication technologies more generally. So 'this' is the sense commonly used in modern comprehensive coverage of both computing and telecommunications technologies. Some books, usually it is used more narrowly refer technology and communications and for basic computing and information refer to 'the ICTs'.

If we consider the industrial and commercial implications of the employment of the new information technologies then we must take on board that the computer is a general purpose machine which mechanizes human brain-powered operations just as the Industrial Revolution

mechanized human and animal muscle-powered operations . If we then consider the implications of new information technology jobs industrial trade and we must take on board power operation is a general purpose computer machine machine revolution muscular man and animals mechanizes the human brain - only industrial strength operation. The impact of such a broadly applicable technology is inevitably widespread and far-reaching. Broadly applicable technology and its effect on reaching such a broad and excesses, yet. Computers have become a pervasive technology applied in all sectors of life, including industry, commerce, government, education and leisure activities. Computers have become leisure activities, and education, trade, expanded a government, technology apply to all areas of life, including industry.

For businesses, information technology is only a means to an end - which is the use of knowledge to make and implement commercial decisions. For business, information technology, only a means to an end - which is used in the decision to apply knowledge and trade. Efficient organizations require established systems to enable them to make the best possible decisions in the situations they are likely to meet. Organizations need to establish efficient and meet the system's potential to make the best decision possible situations are worthy of them. Thus an organizational information system should collect data, analyze, and present this as useful information that can be retrieved as the basis of expert knowledge at the point of decision. Thus, an organization information system should sum data analysis, and present it as a benefit that information can then decide based on expert knowledge. Once decisions are made they must be passed on to those who implement them, carried out, and the success or failure of the operation monitored. Decisions are carried by them for what they passed on, and success or failure of the surveillance operation outside a bar. Increasingly decisions can be automatically implemented using the technology, thus enabling organizational objectives to be achieved with maximum efficiency. Increase can be determined using techniques applied automatically, thus enabling organizational objectives with maximum efficiency can be achieved.

ii. Company B – Abans

Vision- To attaract on retain our Customer for life

Mission- To be the most reliable and efficient after-sales-service centre for household and electronic appliances in Sri Lanka.

Company Overview

Today, Abans Group comprises of 32 individually operating companies with a turnover of Rs. 39 Billion (US $300 Million). The Abans Group also has an investment grade rating of "A(lka)" from Fitch Ratings. This could not have been achieved without the help of our 13,500 employees spread throughout Sri Lanka and now expanding overseas. 

Each company belongs to one of the 5 strategic business units of organization under the Abans Group umbrella. These strategic business units include Manufacturing, Trading, Services, Finance and Real Estate/Infrastructure Development/Warehousing/Logistics. The group has a diversified and valuable asset base and an extremely strong brand image.

1960s Sri Lanka was a period of harsh, economic restrictions, severely limiting consumer choice and purchasing power. Mrs. Aban Pestonjee, a young housewife at the time, not content with this situation, began to acquire used appliances from attending expatriate and embassy staff personal auctions to put up for sale in first, her own garage and then slowly in her own corner store. Balancing housework, her business and three children, Mrs. Pestonjee was adamant on making reliably available household appliances at fair prices so as to make the lives Sri Lankan housewives that much easier. 

The Abans corner shop at Galle Road, Bambalapitya was the first establishment were Mrs. Pestonjee brought items purchased at the auctions to be repaired and serviced and then put up for sale at a reasonable price, backed by the Abans Guarantee. The Abans Guarantee was the first of its kind amongst Sri Lankan resale outlets, and it became synonymous with the fact that customers were assured that they were buying a high-quality, long-lasting product.

Coupled with our strong business ethic, and the passion and drive exuded by our founding members, Mr. and Mrs. Pestonjee, Abans' popularity in the household appliance retail sector soared. Demand largely outgrew supply and new workshops were opened to cater to the demand of efficient after-sales service.

In 1977, with the establishment of the Open Economy, Abans had the best after-sales service in the country, largely due to the spread and quality of its repair and service centres. This was one of Abans' major strengths that allowed them to acquire the sole agency of some of the world's leading brands in household electric and electronic appliances.

From then on, Abans Limited which handles the retail of household electric and electronic appliances has grown to over 200 showrooms island-wide and 450 approved dealers across Sri Lanka. Abans Limited even operates an outlet in Dubai. The management at Abans felt that whilst focusing on providing quality products and services to domestic consumers, there was much opportunity in supplying corporate clients. With this in mind, the Abans Group of Companies was incorporated, under which companies dealing in the retail of mobile phones and high-tech computer equipment, industrial kitchen, laundry and cleaning equipment, Central A/C systems, environmental services, pharmaceuticals, automobiles, security services and travel reservations have sprung up. The Abans Group of Companies will continue to improve and expand in its existing sectors, but is always on the lookout for more opportunities.

III Organizational Structure of HSBC

IV Organizational Structure of ABANS

3. Company Comparison and Contrasting

Assisgnment 2

Definition of Formal and Informal group

A formal organisation structure shows a recognisable chain of command, it also has many levels of management. This make comunication slower and decision making harder to implement.An informal structure is much more relaxed, with very few levels of management. This makes comunication much easier between levels and decisions anr made faster.Hope that helped!

Basis of differenceFormal OrganizationInformal OrganizationMeaningFormal Organization may be defined as such organization in which authority, responsibility and account-ability of each member are clearly defined.On the other hand, informal organization may be defined as such organization in which authority, responsibility and account-ability of each member are not clearly defined.ObjectivesThe purpose or objective of establishing formal organization is to achieve Pre-determined goals of an enterprise.Where as, the objective of establishing informal organization is just to fulfill the psychological and social needs of its members.StabilityFormal organization is generally more stable in comparison to informal organization, because it is established according to proper rules and regulations for achieving certain goals.On the other hand, informal organization is not as stable as formal organization, because it is established, in the lack of proper rules and regulations.NeedFormal organization is gene-rally more needful to every organization, in comparison to informal organization due to stability.On the other hand, informal organization is not as essential to every organization as formal organization due to absence of proper suitability.SizeFormal organization is generally too large in size, in comparison to informal organization.On the other hand, informal organization is generally too

small, in comparison to formal organization.EstablishmentFormal organization is established on the basis of proper rule and regulation, where authority, responsibility and accountability of each member are clearly defined.On the other hand, informal organization is established spontaneously. It doesn't require any rule and regulation to emerge.Use of Organization chartsOrganization charts is needed to show formal organization.There is no use of organization charts in informal organization.

Types of Communication In formal organization generally written or formal communication takes place to express the orders, views and feedback etc.On the other hand, in informal organization generally oral or informal communication takes place to express the orders, views and feedback etc.Flow of authorityn formal organization gene-rally authority flow from top to bottom vertically over the subordinates and responsibility goes from bottom to top over superiors.On the other hand, in informal organization everyone has equal rights and duties, so there is horizontal flow of authority in this organization.LeaderIn formal organization gene-rally managers are the leader of organization and so, each and every activity is done under their guidance.On the other hand, in informal organization generally leader is elected by the members and so, each and every activity is done by members under his guidance.RelationshipIn formal organization each and every members has impersonal or formal relationship with each-other due to bound in rules.On the other hand, in informal organization each and every member has informal or personal relationship with each-other due to equal rights.ScopeThe scope of formal organization is broader, in comparison to informal organization.On the other hand, the scope of informal organization is narrow in comparison to formal organization.

Formal organization is a fixed set of rules of intra-organization procedures and structures. As

such, it is usually set out in writing, with a language of rules that ostensibly leave little discretion

for interpretation. In some societies and in some organizations, such rules may be strictly

followed; in others, they may be little more than an empty formalism.

To facilitate the accomplishment of the goals of the organization: In a formal organization,

the work is delegated to each individual of the organization. He/She works towards the

attainment of definite goals, which are in compliance with the goals of the organization.

To facilitate the co-ordination of various activities: The authority, responsibility, and

accountability of individuals in the organization is very well defined. Hence, facilitating the

co-ordination of various activities of the organization very effectively.

To aid the establishment of logical authority relationship: The responsibilities of the

individuals in the organization are well defined. They have a definite place in the

organization due to a well defined hierarchical structure which is inherent in any formal

organization.

Permit the application of the concept of specialization and division of Labour. Division of

work amongst individuals according to their capabilities helps in greater specializations and

division of work.

Create more group cohesiveness.

03 Effective and ineffective

Effective -Successful in producing a desired or intended result:effective solutions to environmental problems.

EgA container deposit system is also effective in increasing environmental awareness.

This is not a pretty movie, although it is effective in what it intends to do.

The genre of the sports spectacle is particularly effective in producing such narratives.

Ineffective- Not producing any significant or desired effect:the legal sanctions against oil spills are virtually ineffectivea weak and ineffective president.

Universities, the most ineffective professional lobby in Britain, simply took this on the

chin.

To be sure, this mission has been woefully ineffective from the start.

As a sales patter, it was hopelessly ineffective, probably scaring off any potential

purchasers.

04. Positive and Negative side of Company- Bowen Power Station –United State America

Plant Bowen is a coal-fired power station located just outside Euharlee, Georgia, United States, approximately 8.7 mi (14 km) west-south-west from Cartersville. At 3,499 megawatts, Plant Bowen has the largest generating capacity of any coal-fired power plant in North America since the partial shutdown of Ontario Power Generation's Nanticoke Generating Station in Canada. Plant Bowen ranked third in the nation for net generation in 2006 producing over 22,630,000 MWh. The station is connected to the southeastern power grid by numerous 500 KV transmission lines, and is owned and operated by Georgia Power, a subsidiary of Southern Company.

Positive Impact of Company

1. Cheapest source of energy.  It is by far cheaper than nuclear, natural gas, oil.  Hydro usually will be slightly cheaper.  However,  problems with hydro include: no new facilities because of public outcry when river valleys are dammed; and, peak demand time problems (rivers running dry in the dead of summer when peak air conditioning is needed and rivers are frozen in the dead of winter when peak heating is needed).

2. Coal also provides a stable source of energy (no Arab oil embargoes, no sudden scarcity like you experience with natural gas) and there is a very plentiful supply both in the U.S. and in other foreign countries.

3. Coal is nothing more than ancient wood which has been under pressure for millions of years.  It is not sinister as you may have been led to believe.

4. Coal provides many jobs.  Unlike other forms of energy (nuclear, natural gas, oil, hydroelectric), coal provides many jobs in removing coal from the earth, transporting it to the utility, burning it, and properly disposing of coal ash.

5. Coal is American made.  We do not have to import this product into this country.

6. Coal can be mined and burned with little environmental impact.  There has been tremendous strides in environmental responsibility with mining coal and burning coal.  However, there still is pressure of global warming.  If we burn less fossil fuels, what, as a practical matter, is our energy alternative?  Nuclear?  Hydro?  Solar (there is no practical way to provide the massive amounts of electricity needed to run our country through solar energy---it is viewed as impractical at this time)?

7. Coal mining reclamation can give the surface landowner many more options for developing his land.  In the mountainous terrain, a mining process call mountaintop removal can create very valuable and useable level land for the surface owner.  The surface owner not only gets his land developed, he usually is paid 50 cents a ton for the inconvenience of the use of his surface

8. The prudent us of coal will allow the U. S. the time needed to develop viable alternative energy sources---primarily solar  technology and fuel from grain---without any negative impact on our national economy.

Negative Impact of Company
