Abstract

Currently in the United States it has been estimated that 1012,000robots are utilised in larger corporations. Future predictions calculatethat within five to seven years up to 100,000 robots may be in use inthe US alone. It was predicted that by 1990 more than 50,000 new jobswould be created in making and maintaining robots in good condition.With such a dramatic increase in the use of robotics technology,enterprises must acknowledge the future implications of such advancementon both management and employees. The purpose is to test the strategicapplication of robotics technology, why it should be used extensively inthe future, the fear of unemployment due to the robots, and thereorganisation of traditional management practices as a result of newtechnological advances.
