Innovation is the result of a complex and interactive process involving technologies, human resources, professional training, organizational capacities, designs, and other intangible factors of business activity, it is the art of transforming knowledge into wealth and quality of life , in this way, this innovation appears as an essential condition for the organizational expansion, in such a way the technological change becomes the impulse that is behind a sustained growth.
In contrast, the resistance to change appears, which turns out to be of greater social impact than technological, having to be fought the paradigms of the people who make up the business, since this entails a change in their work routine.
Changes in an organization or company can hardly be brought forward if they are not supported by the values, attitudes and behavior of their people; so it is important the commitment at the time of starting, I mean that to the extent that the worker internalizes and becomes a partner in these changes feels more protagonist of the processes and not victim of them.
In this line, information technology has been the driving element of changes, the business in its planning and successfully inserting it into its cultural patterns, as well as in its development strategies, therefore, it will be more competitive and its processes more efficient, we should not think that it is a process at once, nor that it is another fashion or technology, it should be taken into account that others may be taking the lead, leaving us out of the competition, we should consider its adoption in a timely manner by all the members of the company, thus achieving the competitive advantage that our products or processes require.

It is necessary to establish the impact that innovations have on the people who are part of the business, the reactions involved in the adoption of a certain technology, the paradigm changes that are involved and the need for the general participation of the members of the same, for Of course, the importance of information technologies for the creation of competitive advantages in an increasingly globalized market, we will have as a final reflection that technological changes must be adopted in conjunction with the personnel and in accordance with the interests of the company. that otherwise it becomes a risk in the implementation of information technologies, having additional expenses, which we can not avoid in a bad planning of resistance to change.
