Abstract

Current business environment is characterised by rapid changes on the one hand and the complexity of keeping a continuity of employment. In the past we have heard of life time employment in one company for new entrants to any business organization. But today it seems hardly possible for any body to continue till retirement as an employee in the organization he/she joins to make a career. The business environment as we know continually changes due to emergence of new technologies and new ways of doing business. Mobile technologies and the smart phones have revolutionalised the ways of doing business, apart from the growing competition. Digital technologies have made possible accessibility to a variety of information by the tap of a finger. IT has become an integral part of any business or rather it is the driver of modern business. A prospective employee has to be sensitive to digital technologies and has to keep continuously updating his/her knowledge and Technologies for achieving business success. An Employer has also needs to adopt new Technologies and generation of employees to suit his demanding needs. This article would attempt to trace the genesis and consequences of this change in the outlook.

Keywords

Continuity of employment in a particular company, environmental and technological influences and perceptions, digital technolgies and outlook of companies and employees, genesis and consequences of such changes in outlook.
