LITERATURE REVIEW:
“Predictions about the future of business sound very much like
what we might expect to see in a science fiction movie from
Hollywood” (Petty, 2016). The author further goes on to state that
Digitalisation will lead to work being monitored and controlled by
intelligent machines; strategies being selected by machines
based on intelligence algorithm; Factories being run by remote
control; Deliveries being done by driverless cars and drones;
and problems being resolved before they happen based on
complicated predictive analytics engines. The article suggests
that the four key areas the Managers must strengthen to remain
relevant are: Technical agility, Data agility, Project agility and
Networking agility. (Petty, 2016)
