Take any company which is undergoing expansion with the use of automation or inducting modern technology. This new technology should provide greater speed, accuracy, efficiency, and double output. However, this initiative would also result in downsizing. The current strength of 235 employees, mostly in the age group of 25 - 40 years, is expected to reduce to 101 employees only.
