Then, he must be able to convince the management that the change is in the best interest of the company. He has to come up with the strongest arguments in order to support his statement. Ergo, I strongly agree with the role of the evangelist and the first phase of the change process.
The second phase points out the role of the autocratic leader. He must be respected and, to a limited extent, even feared by the employees. This is also extremely true since a friendly and permissive manager, whereas cherished by the employees, is not always respected and often encounters difficulties in implementing new strategies. Hence, I once again strongly agree with the opinions forwarded by Lawrence, Dyck, Maitlis and Mauws.
The third stage of the implementation of change states that regardless of the qualities of the leader, he will need the support and assistance of technological applications. And in the contemporaneous environment, where new technological advancements are being made every day, it is impossible to disagree. Among the numerous benefits of technological applications, which make them vital to the process of organizational change, one could easily point out the support and improvements of the communication system and network along side with the possibility to virtually present the effects of change. But these are just a few applications and the list is endless. And this particular...
His role is once again compulsory as it emphasizes the human resource strategies in coping with change. Take for instance the simple case of an organizational change in the meaning of upgrading the manufacturing technologies. The educator will have to explain to the customers that however the prices might increase slightly, the overall quality of the final product will be significantly better. Then, he must talk the employees through the change and even offer them training programs which will help the staff become familiarized with the new machines and learn how to operate them. As such, the need for an educator is once again obvious and I strongly agree with it.
All in all, the article by Lawrence, Dyck, Maitlis and Mauws addresses a contemporaneous problem faced by most companies and materialized in the constant need to change and adapt to the requirements of the environment. And I strongly agree with their views.

In that sense, Wilkoff (1995, as cited by Weick & Quinn, 1999) reports on her attempts to intervene between two companies that had fused together in an unsuccessful mergence. The actors of the various companies persistently disagreed due to cultural differences in mindset, whereupon the consultant, recognizing this, changed her strategy. She began meeting with each actor separately and explaining the other's performance from his or her particular cultural assumptions.
Chaos theory states that change represents a contemporary corporate model which is best suited to the advanced corporations of the current era. The theory understands the fact that change is unavoidable, but that forecasting its trajectory and time is hard (Taneja, 2013). Mergers, acquisitions, governmental takeovers and liquidations, which are ever more frequently observed, all support chaos theory premises. Akin to chemistry, organizational change may be classified as organic (flowing
Change Management Describe at least three internal and external drivers of change for the organization in this simulation. Internally, organizational changes are driven by three external pressures, as defined by Lewin's along the three-stage model of unfreezing, changing and refreezing employee behaviors. Motivating people during each of these change stages reinforces the acquired behaviors. Unfreezing involves the motivational factor of persuading people to replace the old behaviors and attitude with the preferred
Change Management Scenario The contemporary business environment is rapidly evolving. Globalization has taken over the organization environment, and with this business is forced to undergo continuous and rapid change driven by increasing stakeholder expectations, new technological advances, and competition that is not only global, but viral (Bendell, 2005). This has resulted in a dramatically different business environment in which the modern business, in order to survive and prosper, is forced to
(GAO, 2008) These criteria are stated to "inform many other elements of the positions, including roles and responsibilities, job qualifications, reporting relationships, and decision-making structure and processes." (Dejewski, 2007) Three types of COO/CMO positions were identified as follows: (1) the existing deputy position could carry out the integration and business transformation role. This type of COO/CMO might be appropriate in a relatively stable or small organization; (2) a senior-level executive who reports to
Software quality management, compliance, and collaboration across the entire organization also need to be integrated at the process and role level with the LMA supply chain. As the LMA supply chain is very unique in that it specifically deals with prototypes often that are under covered under security guidelines and clearances, there needs to be continual focus on change management and task ownership in this area as well. For
