as lower numbers of man hours required for a single task, new jobs are being created and new tasks are needed to ensure that all the benefits that are available

bottom line only. This means we will need to look at the profits of a company before technology was introduced, or changed, and then consider the profits after the event
in order to consider the impact. This method may be used for any of the different ratios, such as the operating efficiency ratios, return on equity and return on assets,
or even EPS especially if further funds were raised by a share issue for the development of the technology project. In theory this is a good idea, with a direct
compensation, where it will be possible to compensate for increases due to inflation. In practice this is not as simple. There are
many influences that impact on the company performance, not only the presence of IT. Influences such as the economy, fashions, standard of management, employee relations, new projects, other research and
development issues as well as other operational unusual costs. Even if we can account for all of these and make the adjustments, there are also the problems of the short
