New Managerial Tools and Technologies

Identify an area in the global marketplace that has been impacted by new tools and technologies to advance managerial control and increase the performance of organizations. Then provide a detailed overview (2-3 pages) of the tools and/or technologies that have advanced managerial control and increased possible performance.

As with all your Critical Thinking assignments you should have a cover page and a reference page, and follow APA guidelines. For this assignment, the body of the paper should be approximately two pages in length. Please use at least three library articles to substantiate your points. Include reference page and in-text citations as needed. Research and facts support critical thinking efforts and your full synthesis and comparison of the various new technologies and tools.
Using what you learned about plate tectonics, Alfred Wegener, and the basics of scientific investigation from the previous units discuss the following:
1. Did Wegener reveal his theory of continental drift too soon? For the sake of scientific investigation, how is revealing an explanation for a process early both risky and sometimes necessary?
2. Apart from lacking an explanation for how the continents could move across the surface of the Earth, Wegener’s research was met by skepticism for other reasons. How can a scientist overcome skepticism? What features of the scientific method can help prevent a scientist from being labeled a crackpot?
3. If Alfred Wegener were alive today, and had access to the technology and data we have now, share a form of evidence that he could have added to his theory or would have changed his theory. Try to share a different form of evidence from those shared by your classmates and/or add to their posts by describing how the evidence is collected, how the technology works to collect the data, or how this technology/evidence has been used in other applications
