I am in nontechnologial area.....do I have to worry about technology???

In this global environment that we are in right now, where competition is driving everybody and everything, executives can’t help but to make sure that they are knowledgeable about technology irrespective of their specialized fields. They need to make sure that IT is in total alignment with the business functions of that particular company. If there is a harmonious existence of IT and business functions, reciprocating each other, the potential business ramification for any company will sure lead to the way of success and prosperity. Technology is always evolving. Something that a software developer is using today might turn out to be obsolete a after a couple of weeks. Thus the executive has to be always on top of this volatile nature of technology and lead the company by confronting the threats in the proper manner and in the process making opportunities, tapping onto them and bringing in profit for the company.
