1) What is the relationship between quantum and incremental
technological change? Why are these types of change important to
organizations?

Quantum technological change is the basic transformation and it creates a new product or reform
the way the products are made. These mark a big advancement in technology. A few examples of
quantum change include the mobile phones, computers, genetic engineering etc. On the other
hand, incremental technology change refers to the step by step process to move from one
technology to other technology. In other words, it is the improvements and refining of the base
technology. For example, the moving of large cell phones when the cell phones to started to the
ultra slim touch phones which are available now are examples of the incremental technology.
Generally, companies do the reverse engineering to gain progress in the incremental technology
changes.
Both the quantum technology change and the incremental technology change are important for
the success of the organizations. There are advantages of both quantum technology and
incremental technology. While the quantum technology makes sure that the company reaches
new heights suddenly, there is also a risk that the new technology might not be accepted by the
customers. The quantum technological changes can be called as technological discontinuities as
some technology will become obsolete because of the new technology. On the other hand,
incremental technology helps in understanding the user’s pulse and making the modification for
the existing product which will help in the success of the technology. Incremental technology
helps the organization to stay ahead of the competition by improving the existing ones.
Sometimes, the organization does not reveal the technological advancement to make sure that the
competition does not counter it.
There are a lot of companies that become popular because of the quantum and incremental
technology changes. Some companies like Apple, Microsoft and Intel have gained lot of
popularity and income with the technological changes. On the other hand, some companies like
IBM have experienced decline because of the technology changes as their technology became
obsolete. Hence, it is extremely important for the companies to ensure that they have continuous
quantum and incremental changes and stay ahead of the competition to be successful

2) What are the differences between the rational and the Carnegie
approaches to decision making? What are the differences between
the incrementalist and the ga
age can models?
Decision making is one of the important criteria for the success of the organization. It is the
process of solving the problem and creating value for the stakeholders of the company. There are
several models for the decision making. The main approaches are the rational approach and the
Carnegie approach.
While the rational approach believes that the person taking the decision has both the information
and the ability to take the decisions, the Carnegie approach...
