Future of Office Administration?

Question

what does the field of Office Administration look like 10 years from now? (please cite sources)

Answer 1

Office admin. will always be there cause industries will always continue....any industry can not survive without admin. deptt. it is very essential....but there is no enough growth in this sector....and i dont think these features will ever change....

Answer 2

As long as Business and industries survive, there will be a need for administrators. In none of the fields where I have worked has a person been hired specifically to administrate.The heads of departments or specialties within a company usually are experienced in the specialty ie;engineering, accounting,research. Perhaps the field is open within government. But there too, administration is usually assigned to a person who has the skill and knowledge for the section he heads.

Answer 3

For as long as there is a Business corporation, Office Administration will be there to stay. If you know what Office Administration is all about you will not ask for sources.

Answer 4

Future of office administration will be much more professional.
After 10 years office administration will totally depend on computers.
Employees will be informed the course of action through Internet and mobile by their higher authorities.
Higher authorities will receive the information from their subordinates through mobile and laptop.
Communication will be faster and software involved will be standardized.

Answer 5

there will always be a need for somone to sign for packages, order lunches, make coffee, run errands, order supplies...administration covers a lot of ground....it's changing with technology, but some things stay the same
