Introduction

Technology has resulted in significant changes in the organizational structure.  For this reason, the companies need to enhance their organizational structures to remain competitive and accomplish market longevity.  The companies achieve this goal by improving their digital transformation and installing new security systems to protect them from cyberattacks (Mosteanu, 2020).  As a result, the introduction will cover data protection, adoption of digital changes into organizational culture, improvement of organizational performance, and redesign of organizational structure.

Problem Statement

The use of technology such as digital systems and big data through the IT devices and the internet exposes companies to cyber-attack.  Typically, cyber-attacks contribute to financial losses for various companies.  As a result, the management of these companies is skeptical of adopting new technologies such as artificial intelligence, which is fundamental to modern business.  Moreover, the people tasked with managing different companies are reluctant to adopt new technologies because of a lack of knowledge and resources.  However, their new technologies with appropriate requirements can enhance the organizational structure of JPMorgan Chase to circumvent these challenges.

 Purpose Statement

This research demonstrates how modern technologies (artificial intelligence) with applicable requirements can redesign the organizational structure to enable the company to avoid the challenges associated with adopting current technologies.

Scope

The present paper focuses on identifying challenges facing the companies because of the digitizing process of the company (JPMorgan Chase).  Furthermore, it covers the fundamentals essential for redesigning organizational structure to enhance the company's response to some of these challenges like cyberattacks.

Discussion Section

Challenges associated with adopting new technologies in companies are the problems that the paper addresses.  Investigating these challenges is important because the findings are significant for any company that experiences cyberattacks (Mosteanu, 2020).  Furthermore, the current research helps the companies (management) how to incorporate new technologies and redesign JPMorgan Chase's organizational structure to prepare it for the possible challenges.  The research adopts a qualitative method to recognize the company's main challenges due to the digitalization process.  For this reason, the study uses qualitative data.

Based on the collected data, the organizational structure is influenced by general and specific environments.  The particular environment focuses on the desires and needs of customers, governmental regulations and rules, supply chain management, and the activities of competitors (Mosteanu, 2020).  On the other hand, the general environment encompasses technological forces, demographic and cultural forces, international movements, and socio-economic policies.  The research revealed that the technological approaches, such as the adoption of new technology such as big data and artificial intelligence, dictate the company's operation (Mosteanu, 2020).  For example, programmed technology doubles the company's productivity.  Moreover, the digitalization of the company's activities enhances business operations, such as fraud management and detection, risk management, managing finance, trading, and financial advisory services.

Even though technology contributes to a company's productivity, cyberattacks affect it.  The present study indicates that cyberattacks occur in distinctive forms, namely Trojan, viruses, malware, phishing, Spyware, Spam, and social engineering.  Criminals exploit cyberspace to launch various cybercrimes affecting the targeted company (Mosteanu, 2020).  Therefore, developing a defense mechanism is fundamental to counteract activities of cybercrimes, leading to the birth of cyber security.  Cyber security protects organizations' programs, networks, and systems from digital attacks.  Hence, the companies should adopt new technologies.  However, they should have cyber security to safeguard them from digital attacks.

Conclusion

Digitalization is essential in the daily operation of the company.  For instance, it increases the company's productivity.  Nonetheless, the adoption of new technologies in the company is faced with cyberattacks.  Therefore, the best approach to overcome this through installing cyber security in place to counter the effects of cyberattacks.  For this reason, it is recommended that the installation of a cyber-security system is fundamental for any company.  Thus, companies that adopt new technologies should consider installing cyber security.

Other Information

The most exciting research is the effect of new technologies on companies.  Furthermore, the approaches for preventing cyberattacks also stood out.  Therefore, individuals involved in the management of the companies should not be afraid of adopting new technologies because protection mechanisms are available to prevent any cyberattacks.
