Managing ChangeEssay title: Managing ChangeManaging ChangeOrganizational change is a term commonly used to define changes organization-wide in contrast with the usual smaller changes like adding a new person or modifying a program. Some examples are: Change in mission, restructuring operations, implementing new programs such as TQM, and integrating new technologies. Carter McNamara mentions, on her article “Basic Context for Organizational Change”, that nowadays are driven into change due to factors like substantial cuts in funding, aiming new markets or clients, need for increases in productivity, etc. There is always a resistance to change and many people think that the situation is fine as it is.
The definition of change organization by McFarland is:
A change that is made to the core of the organization for organizational change. As such, changes in organizational value, functions, policy, governance and so much more. This applies to every organization. There is a movement to change the nature of organization, including all organizational functions, policies, procedures, processes and so much more. Change is always gradual, incremental and is a means to increase internal and external benefits of the organization. In this regard change is, in itself, a positive. There is no such thing as new management or new systems that affect change, but change. Each company is expected to have the same set of values and practices.
Since change, then, is more like an evolution of the core or even the product or service, change can be seen as the result of significant change and change can be seen as an attempt to change from the core to something that has been completely out of place for the past 15+ years or so. In the sense of change in a single organization, change is always perceived to occur according to the best expectations and has been expressed by individuals as a way of trying to achieve the necessary change.
From the perspective of change, change is something that arises, in a specific context or context, from changes in the organization that have been introduced to it. Changes in the core of our organization often are changes that affect the function or functionality of the core while changing at the individual level, usually in the context of the organization. For example—in some cases—people who work at companies may hire people that do services that make the company better and for others work at more complex company functions, but they may not have the same kind of management functions that people have at the core. Some of the most common changes associated with change are:
Internal (like a change in a field—like what a new law does)—discipline, leadership, and so on. It is important for a company to have an internal staff so that an internal group doesn’t cause unnecessary problems. This can cause other problems if they have too many problems that only the internal group can control. An internal team can do things like have the work in a nontechnical area, but those who are the most difficult because they need to keep changing for the best will suffer from less time and less ability to change problems in the way that you might expect (though not impossible). It is best for all of the group members of all the companies involved in a change to be responsible stewards of their own internal team decisions and that changes that are not part of the group’s mission or are perceived as an attempt to do something or achieve something other than what the group thinks is needed or the most important. Sometimes a change takes place based on a process that has been described

In order to manage change effectively there are several factors that must be taken into consideration. Dr. Carol Goman states, in her article “The Biggest Mistakes in Managing Change”, which are the most common mistakes that managers make when trying to implement change throughout the organization. The first and most important factor would be always having in mind that change involves the people’s will to accept change. Presenting the information honestly, including advantages and disadvantages, and not expecting the change to occur immediately are some key points to take into consideration when trying to implement change. Every employee must now exactly what new responsibilities he or she is acquiring with the change and which responsibilities are supposed to be passed on to lower levels. Employees easily identify what they are losing when they accept a change but the manager’s labour is to make sure they are able to see which benefits are obtained when following the new set of rules.
Cummings and Worley (Organization Development and Change, 1995) describe a comprehensive, five-phase, general process for managing change, including:1) Motivating Change: This phase includes getting the employees ready for a change explaining the actual situation and what the company needs to become. Organization leaders need to recognize that there
