Subject: Submission of report

Dear Sir,

We have the pleasure and honor of submitting our study "The impact of technology on business
and society: A survey among the people in Bangladesh," which provided us with an excellent
opportunity to gain research and survey experience.

Technology has changed the way businesses operate by allowing small businesses to compete on
an equal level with larger corporations. We have yet to adopt this modern technology because we
are used to the conventional way of doing business. So, in this paper, we conducted a survey to
determine how much of an impact technology has on business and whether or not it is beneficial
to people.

We hope you will find this article interesting to read. Please feel free to contact us with any
questions or clarifications you might have. Please excuse us for any slight errors that we might
have made. We appreciate your cooperation.

Best Regards,

Preface
In modern days, technology has a great impact on how we work and conduct businesses. Even

during the pandemic period, many people had to work from home and had to get used to modern

technology to continue their work. Therefore, it is very important to evaluate the impact of

3
technology. This study was conducted in May 2021. The survey was conducted on the people of

Bangladesh and their thoughts about the impact of technology on business are reflected in this

report. Hence, we have decided to conduct a comparative study on how much positive and

negative effect technology has on businesses.

Acknowledgment
With the blessing of almighty Allah, we finally finished our report on the topic named the impact
of technology on business and society: A survey among the people in Bangladesh. It was an
excellent experience for all of us.

We would like to express our heartfelt gratitude and appreciation to Dr. Faheem Shahed sir, our
honorable course instructor, for this wonderful opportunity. We have learned and experienced
many important things through this mission that will undoubtedly assist us in the future.

Finally, we would like to express our gratitude to everyone who has taken the time to support us
with the report by providing all of the information we need.

ABSTRACT

Artificial intelligence (AI), big data, and the Internet of things (IoT) are both driving
technology's potential to help companies achieve more with less and deliver better performance.
Businesses can use technology to reduce the time it takes from product concept to product
development, as well as the time it takes from product creation to consumer delivery while
employing fewer people. When automation and robotics take the place of humans who need
salaries and benefits, costs can be reduced. Although this may result in more goods and services
being available at cheaper costs, it can also result in a reduction in the number of customers for
such products and services. There has been a lot of research into which occupations and tasks
can be automated now and in the future. With employment vanishing, a new economy is
emerging, one in which employees are transformed into contract workers who move from gig to
gig in solitude. While this new work paradigm may allow some people to achieve a work/life
balance and follow their creative ambitions, it may also mean a life without stability or a future
for others. The outcome may be a two-tiered society in which the wealthy can afford high-priced
goods and services, while the poor need government aid because, despite the fact that items can
be made more easily, they cannot afford them and hence do not exist.

 1.0 Chapter 1: Introduction

1.1Background
1.1.1 History of technology in Bangladesh

Bangladesh's working industry is undergoing a technological transformation. Nowadays

Computers are used in almost every office. The first computer in East Pakistan was an IBM
mainframe 1620 series, which was installed in 1964 at the Pakistan Atomic Energy
Commission's Dhaka headquarters (later the Bangladesh Atomic Energy Commission). In the
years that followed, particularly after Bangladesh's independence in 1971, computer use grew,
and more advanced IT equipment was installed in various educational, scientific, and financial
institutions. Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET) founded a computer
center in 1979, later renamed the Department of Computer Science & Engineering. The center
has played a key role in Bangladeshi IT education since its inception. Today many software are
built to make people's jobs easier, and many activities are being automated on a daily basis.

1.1.2 Technological Influence on Business

Since the Industrial Revolution and the invention of the assembly line, the industry has never
changed as rapidly as it has since the birth of the Internet. The technological transformation of
the last 20 years has radically altered how companies interact with one another, their consumers,
suppliers, and partners. Customers' access to a company's items, goods, and services are no
longer restricted by geography. Now Bangladeshis can shop around the world for products and
services that suit their needs at a price they can afford. Companies like backpack BD links to buy
products from Amazon, eBay, and other US and UK stores. Other companies like AliExpress are
also recognized by Bangladeshi customers for their support of direct shipment of foreign
products to Bangladesh.

1.1.3 Technological Influence on Society

Technology has an effect on how people interact, read, and think. It contributes to culture and
influences how people communicate on a regular basis. In today's world, technology plays a

8
critical role. It has both positive and negative effects on the environment, as well as a direct
influence on people's lives. Learning is one form of technology that has had a significant effect
on society. Learning has become more engaging and collaborative, allowing people to better
connect with the content they are learning and having difficulty with. It also improves your
access to services. Another area where technology has had an effect on culture is connectivity, or
how we speak and interact with one another across the world. Many modern forms of electronic
communication, such as emails and social networking, have emerged as a result of technological
advancements. However, studies show that mobile communication has a negative impact on
people's ability to be sociable and make face-to-face interaction. Mobile technology has the
potential to reduce interpersonal contact and relationships. There is less personal time, and you
may feel as though you don't have enough time for yourself because you are always in touch
with others. Finally, all of these technological influences have an effect on how people behave
today.

1.2 Objectives
The study was conducted with the following primary goal in mind:

● To evaluate the impact of technology on the business and the society

The study also had the following secondary goals:

● To find the positive and negative impacts of technology on people

● To find out if technology can actually replace humans and whether people are ready to

accept it or not.

1.3 Scope
This report is focused on how Bangladeshi people are using technology in their workplaces. Our
research was conducted to find out whether technology is beneficial for business workers and job
holders and how much impact technology has on them. This report can help the people of the
country to change their point of view towards technological advancement in the business field.

Furthermore, people can recognize the benefits of technology in their daily work and how
efficiently people can work with the help of technology.

9
Moreover, people can also know the limitations of their knowledge in the technological field and
identify where they are lacking behind. They can also take the necessary steps to overcome it as
there are a lot of new job opportunities in the technological field.

Then again well-known technologically advanced companies can train people to get used to
modern technology and make people it for their own benefits

Lastly, our research will be beneficial for the working-class people and will benefit the people to
make their daily work easier and more efficient and make the business field more advanced and
prosperous.

1.4 Research Methodology:

As the research demands a review of largely secondary data, information has been gathered from

some books, journals, and mostly from surveys through Google Form. Where we chose Dhaka

city as the survey ground. Because the maximum data that we have collected from surveys

through Google form is from various workplaces within this city.

1.4.1 Survey:

To gather data and facts, the report used a Google form survey. The Google form survey was

chosen because it was the most efficient way to meet people in a short period. It was also easy

for respondents because the questions weren't really difficult to answer. There were various kinds

of questionnaires in the study. The majority of the questions were question-oriented, which

indicates that respondents had to fill out the questionnaire with yes and no or agree and disagree.

The survey questions were mostly focused on the audience's feedback. The total number of

questions was 16 about the point of view of people of ages around 20-59 years old on THE

IMPACTS OF TECHNOLOGY ON BUSINESS AND SOCIETY. There were 16 questions in

10
total regarding the impact of technology on business and society. More or less, we have invited

all the senior employers, junior employees, even the apprentices, that means people of every age

to participate equally and to give their responses to the google form survey and some of them

gave us their opinion as most of them were unavailable due to pandemic and closure. There were

27 responses to this survey.

1.5 Limitations:

As we are doing this research through an online process due to the pandemic situation that’s why

we had to face some limitations or restrictions,

● Could not take mass interviews all over Bangladesh or even in Dhaka due to lockdown

● The report is mainly based on the opinion of the Dhaka based working class people

● The survey was based on only Private companies and farms

● Due to the pandemic and closure, we couldn’t reach many people to survey their opinion

● Shortage of time.

 3.0 Conclusion

Organizations will have to become significantly more flexible in the way they think about
handling people's jobs and the workforce as a whole as physical and organizational boundaries
become increasingly blurred. Work is defined by what people do, not by where they do it.
Businesses will increasingly connect and collaborate remotely with freelancers and independent
professionals thanks to digital talent networks. Modern forms of association, such as digital
freelancers' unions and updated labor market laws, will eventually evolve to accompany these
new organizational frameworks. A significant collection of regulations for policymakers
concerns the portability of protections and benefits between jobs, as well as the legal treatment of
various categories of labor and employment types. The demand must exist even though an
organization is fully automated.3D printers may enable artisans to create their own goods, and
eBay may enable them to be sold B2B, but the demand must still exist. As more people are able
to pursue their dreams, supply will increase. Renting your room or apartment is better until the
area becomes a destination for tourists, as people who use Airbnb have discovered. You will face
more competition as a result, and you will need to spend money updating your home. You may
also have so many clients that you waste more time and money cleaning than doing what you
really want to do, which is what the room rental was intended to help you with. Many artists and
musicians have worked other jobs in order to support themselves while pursuing their passion for
art and music. Now that those jobs are gone, more people will try to make money through artistic
endeavors. Also, for robots, there must be a market for every good or service. Creativity and
innovation that raises the value of human labor would provide the best solutions. These will
create new responsibilities for the business leaders. The hard work that must be done to plan and
adapt human resources to work in complementary ways with technology is perhaps the most
important component of being effective at implementing automation.

28
 4.0 Recommendation

The impact of technology on business and society will be increased day by day. Technology will
bring evolutionary change in business and society.

● Using digital talent networks, businesses can increasingly communicate and collaborate
remotely with freelancers and independent professionals. To complement these new
organizational structures, modern forms of association such as digital freelancers' unions
and revised labor market regulations will gradually emerge.

● Automation will emerge in the business which will create a new type of business. The
advantages and effectiveness of these automation-enabled process transformations could
then be used to determine which processes should be automated. In order to better place
their companies to take advantage of automation, business leaders and their organizations
would need to become more informed about the development of the technologies
themselves, recognizing the art of the possible, and the potential for the future.

● we need to be prepared for the new evolution in the business. The new business model
will change the lifestyle of the whole society. It will change the structure of the society
and the lifestyle of the society.

● In the future people will be more dependent on technology. Technology will make the
lifestyle easier. People will be more dependent on online shopping rather than visiting
shopping malls. Business production will be run by Artificial intelligence
.
So, in last we have to be more prepared for our future life and need to be more aware about
technology.
