ABOUT SOCIO-TECHNICAL AND ITS SYSTEMS-(STS)

Now a days industries, organizations have not only said but have started strongly adopting "Socio-Technical -Systems (STS) for their betterment and development. Although this concept is not new but remained pretty silent for a long period. "STS" in fact is a typical approach towards recognizing and understanding the people and their interactions within and outside the organization (i.e.) the work places with the application of technology. It also gives an insight between the interaction of behavior and effects of "STS" over the work forces within and outside the organization. Thus "STS" helps in the development of an organization.

STS- is mainly related to the causes and effects therefore over the organizations. Speaking about the difference between the developing and developed organizations we need to notice as to how well the system is being followed. The developed organizations generally keep on updating their systems with the pace. However the developing organizations have to take lots of efforts to keep a track with people-technology-society. It is important to understand the "System".

SYSTEM-can be understood or known in many forms, but what "System" really which relates in STS -may be known to be as "A purposeful collection of inter-related ingredients of components working together for a common objective. 

The 'Socio-Technical System" can be sequentially be set as:

Society----Organization----Business Processes-----Application Systems-----Communication & Data Management Systems------Operating System----Equipment.

Generally it is always expected that a system should be designed to last for many years, should be robust and should be compatible with the changing environment. 

Today's technology cannot be imagined without 'Software'. The amount of software is increasing, the software general purpose electronics(hardware) has been replaced with the special purpose electronics. It is because of this we can have customized versions therefore. It is important to understand that many big projects have been delayed or remain pending due to the design of Software.

Let us take a recent example of "Demonetization" to understand a little of "STS": 

The new two thousand rupee note was not being accessed by the existing ATMs therefore the ATMs needed calibrations (mechanical as well as electronic & software too). This took eventually a longer time for calibrations, which in-turn  affected the people in be banks(Bank employees), and affected the social environment for some period of time.  Thus the "SOCIO-TECHNICAL SYSTEM" has a substantial effect on everyone's life. Friends, I would like to write something more on STS and also express some important parameters later.

So Friends let's get along with new changes & trends.  Hope you  found this article interesting. 

Have a wonderful Week-end.
