Technology has revolutionised the way companies conduct business by enabling small businesses to level the playing field with larger organisation. The "Virtual Corporation" and "Visual Workplace" will become an increasingly common organisational form. Furthermore mechanism to manage technological changes have been historically unsuccessful as technological developments as always out passed the ability of the government or business to regulate its use. The transition from nation based industrial age to global digital age will require people other than technical specialist to provide input into developing new management and leadership skills. On the other hand innovation inspires new ideas, supports collaboration and enables to be an on-going part of the organisation's culture.
