Switching up the way a business produces its goods isn't just about swapping out a few machines. Imagine changing the ingredients and method of your favorite cake recipe—it's a HUGE deal! You might have to buy new ingredients, learn new techniques, and accept the possibility that not everyone's going to love the new taste. This is what happens when businesses decide to change their production method, but on a grander scale. 🎂

• Retooling Machines: Think of this as changing the tools in your kitchen. You're not just baking with a spoon anymore, you need a fancy mixer! 💡 Example: A car factory switching from manual labor to robotic assembly would need all new machines.

• Redeploying Human Resources: People might have to learn new tasks or might not be needed for certain roles anymore. Like if your grandma who always kneads the dough isn’t needed because of the new mixer. 😢

• Refinancing the New System: Money, money, money! Sometimes it's about finding funds to support the new method. Like splurging on that premium baking set you always wanted.

• Business Re-engineering: It's like not just changing the cake recipe, but changing your entire bakery! This was a hit in the 1990s, sort of like how Tamagotchis were everyone's favorite toy back then. But now? Not so much.

Implications aren’t just potential problems; they're things businesses need to consider, like checking if the oven's preheated.

• Redeployment & Retraining: Some employees might need to adapt to new roles, just like how a cake decorator might need to learn to make pies. And sadly, some might have to leave.
• Roles & Responsibilities: Defining new roles is crucial. If everyone’s making pies, who’s decorating the cakes?
