Thus, business organizations should follow the technological advancement in order to extend their market place and survive.

The analysis was performed by survey method with the managers of business organizations active in Van Organized Industry Zone. Data obtained from 75 managers were analyzed with descriptive survey model. Mean, standard deviation, x-square and U tests were used in order to analyze the data.
