man had his head blown off,” said John Brodbeck, who was 5 years old in 1930 when the steam engine blew up at his farm in Michigan. In the early 1900s — the height of steam-powered
tractor use — explosions were common, averaging two a day in the United States in 1911, according to Diotima Booraem of the Smithsonian Institution in Washington D.C. The new technology of the 1910s was not safe and few people knew how to truly operate steam engines. The first
agricultural steam engines arrived in the 1850s and were pulled by horses.By the 1890s, a steam-engine tractor could plow up to 75 acres per day,more than 20 times the productivity of pulling a plow using horses. By the 1920s, production of steam engines dwindled and none were sold by the end of the decade, replaced by gas-powered engines and tractors.

Understanding technology in operations is criticalfor several reasons:
• Virtually everything that is done in a business
depends on some type of technology.• Technology is evolving at an extremely rapid
pace.
• Technological innovation in goods, services,manufacturing, and service delivery is acompetitive necessity.

Technology in Value Chains
Three major types of business relationships:
B2B: Business to Business
B2C: Business to Customer
C2C: Customer to Customer
Electronic transaction capability allows all parts of the value chain to immediately know and react tochanges in demand and supply.

Making Technology Decisions
• Scalability is a measure of the contribution margin required to deliver a good or service as the business grows and volumes increase.
• High scalability is the capability to serve additional customers at zero or extremely low incremental costs (e.g., Monster.com).
• Low scalability implies that serving additional
customers requires high incremental variable costs (see WebVan).
• Many of the dot.coms that failed in the year 2000had low scalability and unsustainable demand.
