I completely agree with this. Improvements in efficiency are not that easy to obtain. For instance managers may find workers resistant to changes such as introducing new machinery or new working practices. This is because workers fear that changes will lead to redundancies. It can also take a long time for any new strategies to feed through into the form of increased efficiency. In addition, there can be a conflict between productivity and quality. Increasing productivity by its nature implies increasing the speed of production, and if managers are not careful this can mean that workers focus solely on quantity and not the quality of their work. -Jaime

I believe the contribution of IT to improve efficiencies in any ways is very evident as we can see fast communication is one, and when it comes to quality I think that is being taken cared of and the bonus part is the speed in carry out task. I never imagined this kind of ease when it comes to production and no one should be threatened because human and IT complement each other.
