Accepted Answer

A) True 
 B)False  True

Question 3

Discuss a human resource consideration when evaluating and implementing new technologies.

Accepted Answer

A human resource issue to consider when evaluating and implementing new technologies is the availability of talent. This needs to be considered because an organization must acquire the personnel who can best implement the technology. Before the technology is acquired, the organization must determine whether they have the best talent to evaluate the technology and its fit. In the event an emerging technology is selected for pursuit, it requires obtaining the right human resources with the right skill set, whether cultivated in-house or obtained outside. The skill level of existing human resources needs to be evaluated and the cost of acquiring the skills needs to be weighed against the timing of implementation so that a decision can be made whether to learn the skill in-house or bring in skill from outside.
