e. "readiness" for change without a corresponding capacity for change is purely imaginary). Stated differently, capacity for change is a prerequisite for readiness to change but organizations can be capable of change before they are actually ready for change. One could argue that both capacity for meaningful organizational change and readiness for organizational change are prerequisites components for successful change; neither can support effective change in isolation (George & Jones, 2008).
One could also argue that, from a practical perspective, readiness for change is a more important business management principle than capacity for change for two reasons: (1) because readiness for change is more likely to be a function of human factors and aspects of organizational behavior that can be changed, and (2) mistakes that affect businesses detrimentally in relation to change are more likely to occur when there is a capacity for change but not readiness for change (George & Jones, 2008). That is simply...
In most situations, it is much more apparent that a given organization lacks capacity for change which means lack of capacity is less likely to be confused with capacity (George & Jones, 2008). However, where capacity for change does exist, it is fairly common to overlook issues in relation to readiness. Therefore, if importance is a function of the frequency with which the issue comes up and the importance of not misconstruing the actual situation, readiness to change is a more important concept in the realm of business management.
