Abstract

Expectations are rising fast that business should help tackle societal challenges and do it profitably. Technology will clearly shake up how organizations operate in every way; no part of management will go untouched in a world of big data, ubiquitous sensors, and powerful analytics providing new levels of insight. But perhaps the most powerful transformation will change how companies manage their relationships with the larger world. Business, using technology wisely, will help build a thriving, resilient world. Of course, technology comes with its own environmental and social costs. Better AI and robots could mean fewer jobs. But the case for techno-optimism is strong. The Internet of Things, paired with smarter analytics, will help managers understand a companys impacts on the world in much greater detail. In the largest sectors of the economy, progress is coming quickly. More powerful computers and cheaper data will also make transportation systems smarter.
用技术解决世界面临的挑战
企业应该帮助解决社会挑战并从中获利的期望正在迅速上升。技术将明显改变组织的运作方式;在一个大数据、无处不在的传感器和强大的分析提供新层次的洞察力的世界里,管理的任何部分都将毫发无损。但或许最强大的变革将改变企业管理与外部世界关系的方式。明智地利用技术的企业将有助于建立一个繁荣、有弹性的世界。当然,技术有其自身的环境和社会成本。更好的人工智能和机器人可能意味着更少的工作。但技术乐观主义的理由很充分。物联网与更智能的分析相结合,将帮助管理者更详细地了解公司对世界的影响。在最大的经济领域,进步正在迅速到来。更强大的计算机和更便宜的数据也将使交通系统更加智能。
