Many a times when we try to brainstorm with IT about new technologies you could use to innovate - like 2.0 tools, for instance - they patronize us by dismissing our questions and noting that your people aren't properly using the systems already in place. No matter how much we spend or how hard we work, the promise of technology seems perpetually beyond our reach. |

Management don't mind if technology is making them profit. But for them it is important to understand all its aspect so that they could back it up.
Actually, it's not beyond reach; rather it is not welcomed with open arms at all.
People from Management side believe that Management is an art and People from IT fields usually think that IT is science.
IT has provided many a features that managers are using, even without knowing that it is a by-product of IT - for example,Hand-Held Devices, Mobiles, 8-Bits chips in car & remote, etc. They take IT as of something related with and only with Computer-Terminal. Things are pretty different. Well, this is perception based acceptance.
Now, for the second part of expression that they got somehow looked down upon by IT sleuths for their ignorance about the array of capabilities already available through IT - It is because, after having good exposure of IT as User, they tend to believe that they have matured enough to suggest what should have been done. But, they - most of the time - demand for the things that are already present in one version or the other.This is because they don't believe in experimenting. Whatever minimum functionalities are sufficient to their needs are enough to be known for them. They, usually, don't try to go beyond. Whereas, IT guys are ready to explore even unimaginative ideas to make them true. For example, people are working on the project that whenever Advertisements regarding Foods are to come on TV, Viewers can smell their aroma. Well, this can be done by Science-stream personnel only. Managers would come into picture only when they would find that this 'Idea' worth 'stakes'. Then, suggestion(s) would pour in tons to realize other things as well - for example, they would demand for scent or perfumery should also be felt that way, maybe.
Hence, I would like to conclude with the fact that yes, For Managers - Promise of technology are beyond reach - for the obvious reason of
1) Non-acceptance of newer things
2) Going beyond 'Scope'.
Whereas these are prerequisite for exploring technology.
Hence, when they ask for anything 'New' from their side they find that their IT counterparts are showing their 'Ignorance' and felt or at least expresses that they are least concerned and thereby they have not acquainted with that or those.
Basic attitude of Management is "I do not understand the work that you do so at the end of the day, I can not evaluate your output". The promise of technology beyond reach is what the management views of the IT goals and statements. Without proper support IT flounders.

When people say that a carrier in IT will definitely result in a high growth income as well as post wise. But one thing we should keep in mind is that IT is the first and only sector which cuts down job suddenly without much prior notice when ever our nation faces some economic crisis such as Recession etc. So some of t5he opt for Govt. Job rather an IT one. As people today go for income + Job Security. |

It is a sector which growth with the new products if you follow with the old I think you are going to back or want to end that means............................Next I think you do not setisfy with your job as you are hold on the board.

From my experience usually shock comes, when executives realize that IT is just a tool, not a goal and that still you have to work, train people, sell products and continuously innovate your company even if you have best of the best IT department. Also IT is very complex - people in general hate complex things. |

I totally agree. Playing the role of the IT manager, i have to deal with this everyday. Worse still to see how people react when the realization dawns on them that IT cannot solve their problems, merely provide them with a tool to deal with it better.
|
From time to time, executive get upset because what IT gave to the organization is not what they expected. This can be caused by un-managed customer expectation, mis-understandig on what IT can bring to them; or current IT cannot meet what they expected |

You may think that hate is too strong a word for feelings toward a corporate department. I don't. It's not personal — nobody hates the people in IT — it's the system that's broken. And here's the rub: IT doesn't like it either. So in the spirit of confronting brutal facts honestly so that we can chart a new path, here's my take on what we all hate about IT. |

its more of an apprehensive relationship. also it depends - what kind of executives are we talking about? different segments of people have different reactions towards IT. its a topic of discussion. |

The open nature of IT impinges upon the Executives 's psyche of self indulgence.He feels and he rightly feels that decisions are now data based rather than situation based.He therefore hates IT fomentation. |

Nobody is against IT. Only three things we must ensure IT effects should be evaluated,execution should be proper and most importantly for whom we are making. It should be user friendly..... |

If someone is jealous all its means is that person knows that you are better. That is a compliment isn't it? So why to take someones help in the same? |
It is not about just boss if you have good pay you can actually tolerate bad boss too. But if you get something better than what you have then why not? What is more important after all.. money and not boss. |
