Brigham and Women hospital had to take data and input it all into a data system that could be used for data entry. Nucor Steel essentially had to use experiments and tril and error to find the best techniques to get the job done. Nucor Steel was more employee related, always finding ways to motivate the employees to share knowledge and to make the most efficient ways to produce. Brigham and Womens put the knowledge in the computer ( a system all doctors have to use everyday) and made it something they got used to and used every day. The doctors applied this knowledge everyday by using the entry system and using the software to view patient records. Nucor Steel applied the knowledge by finding the best techniques and applying them in all practices.
TECHNOLOGY=BRIGHAM AND WOMEN'S
PEOPLE= NUCOR STEEL
They both used both technology and people but one more so than the other. You have to have the technology for the people to use and you have to have the people to use the technology if you have it. Therefore while one may be used more in a particular setting, they are both of equal importance.
