Abstract
This paper states that the process of change requires involvement at every level, but it requires initiation only at the executive level. The paper discusses the importance of prioritizing the needs since not everything can be changed at the same time. The paper describes four approaches to change that are used in combination: Survey feedback method, personnel participation method, organizational structure method and transformational leadership method.

From the Paper
"The best method of identifying needed change remains the method of collaborative effort between the management and the staff. In this method, the top management takes the initiative allowing staff to participate in the identification of the areas that require change. However, though everyone is allowed to participate in this process, only those workers who are committed and responsible are left with the task of analyzing the problems, formulating solutions and implementing the program."

Abstract
This paper discusses the problem of dealing with change, which occurs when a company takes over another organizational concern. The two companies are to be merged in such a manner that their cultures would not clash with each other. It is therefore important to focus on some important points such as leadership, senior management, employees, change management and strategies.

Conclusion

From the Paper
"One of the key considerations for companies within the construction sector is the changing nature of consumer attitudes towards the concept of environmental issues and climate change. In general terms, the consumer may be seen as taking a greater level of interest in both green issues and products and corporate governance and CSR in general (Report Linker 2008). As such, this represents an external pressure coming from consumers requiring those in the construction industry to take a greater interest in such issues if they are to successfully meet the expectations of the consumer in the modern environment.
"In the second instance, one must consider the attitudes of the consumer in relation to green products and services in the light of the current economic downturn. One consideration is that green products are often associated with a premium in terms of price and as such there may be the expectation that due to financial constraints there may be a fall in interest of consumers for such products. However research indicates that the overall level of interest in green products has not shifted however the emphasis of the total package of benefits has shifted. Potter and Verki (2009) indicate that overall consumers have switched the kind of ethical spending which they take part in rather than the level of ethical spending. The result is that consumers have switched away from goods such as organic foods which may be seen as offering a feel good factor to those with a greater financial value such as products which are green because for instance they last longer or have greater durability."

From the Paper
"Armstrong (2006) identified two important types of change: strategic and operational. The operational change refers to the implementation of new systems, procedures, structures and technologies with impact upon the organization and its employees. Strategic change deals with "broad, long-term and organization-wide issues" (Armstrong, 2006, p. 344). Such form of change involves moving to a future state defined in terms of strategic vision and objectives. It also includes such issues as growth, quality, innovation and values concerning people, customers and technology. According to this general frame of thought the change at Hattersley Electrics appears to be operational in essence, since the company is concerned to change manufacturing focus and manufacture new products and involves also an organizational restructuring. However, a strategic change is also desirable in that is more focused on people and organizational culture."

Abstract
The paper attempts to answer five significant questions: In what ways have employees been made victims of change, rather than agents of change within the Corporate Affairs Commission? How has the result-delivery capacity of the organization been affected by the recent changes, both within the policy and at the global level? Corporate organizations are under pressure to exhibit enhanced responsiveness to the challenges of change; they are also under pressure to exhibit greater organizational excellence than ever before. How can these problems or challenges be resolved using the CAC as an example? What is the strategic response to the challenges of today's business environment and how does CAC translate the strategic response to the market conditions and to the organizational and employment reality? Finally, using present-day yardsticks as an index, what will be the state of corporate affairs in roughly ten years' time and in what specific ways does an organization like the Corporate Affairs Commission need to adjust to meet the new developments? In the final analysis, the paper concludes that while the CAC has taken some positive steps, it has not been particularly sensitive to the needs of employees - and there are no guarantees that its new approach will bear fruit in the long-run.

Abstract
This paper defines organizational socialization as the process through which individuals are transformed from outsiders to participating, effective members of organizations. While organizational change is defined more simply as either down-sizing or reengineering within the corporation, which both constitute the same radical corporate transformation within a business or corporation. The writer of this paper contends that the success of today's organization depends on unleashing and maximizing the talents of its workforce. The overall purpose of both occupational socialization and organization change is to help managers and supervisors achieve better results by identifying when and how to be participative. It is based on the premises that participative management and leadership practices are essential to building commitment. This paper details the various scenarios which require businesses to make drastic cutbacks or structural changes in the set up of the company as well as the reactions from both management and the workforce. Some of the more positive reasons for a company to change are in a shift of how to do business, manage complexity as well as the ability to transcend existing inertia and become more effectively competitive. Some of the more negative effects of change are that it can distract from the basic company goal, changing just to increase team spirit. The writer of this paper discusses several models in organizational socialization methods, including the Schein method which dictates that socialization to higher levels of management includes socialization to more central roles and influence within the organization.

"Some formal socialization techniques include orientation programs, new employee training, and employee handbooks and for on going socialization, job rotation. On the other hand informal socialization may include on-the-job training from a supervisor or coworkers, word of mouth and upending or transformational experiences. One of the better known organizational socialization models is Schein's which states that socialization to higher level of management includes socialization to more central roles and influence in the organization. One informal method of doing this is through personal mentoring. The Schein method describes that some of psychosocial functions of mentoring include role modeling, acceptance and confirmation and friendships."

Abstract
This essay discusses the ways in which a stakeholder approach to corporate governance would differ from the existing system of a stockholder approach in the UK. A definition of corporate governance is provided along with the differences between stakeholder and stockholder approaches to this particular issue. The extent to which a stakeholder approach would change the existing system is also investigated. References and evidence to support these arguments are provided throughout the essay.

From the Paper
"The new proposal of corporate governance is that of a stakeholder approach. The fundamental principle behind this concept is that shareholders are no longer the only members of an organization who have an interest in the conduct and performance of the company. This is supported by Demb & Neubauer (1992) who state "corporate governance is the process by which corporations are made responsive to the rights and wishes of stakeholders". J. Kay (1995) also states "it is the purpose of companies to maximize its profits or to develop its business in the interests of customers, employees, suppliers and other stakeholders in the wider community."

Abstract
The paper focuses on four major areas of change management. Firstly, the paper provides an evaluation of systems thinking and the application of systems logic to strategies involving significant change in an organization. Then the paper explores how the various stakeholder interests and resource constraints are either met through negotiation or countered with a clear and precise definition of the objectives of the initiative. The paper also assesses the impact of technology on effective managerial decision making and finally, examines the evolving role of ethics and corporate responsibility in managing of change as it relates both to the IT initiatives and the business strategies themselves.

From the Paper
"Throughout the defining, validating, and implementing of GE Lightings' IT initiatives, there's been a corresponding application of systems thinking and systemic logic as it relates to changing how the organization can change. With the majority of IT initiatives failing due to being rejected by the organizations they are created to assist and help, the systemic approach to defining strategies for changing how people will interact with and use the system is critical. Over and above the defining of how the software, hardware, networking, and services will combine to create a cohesive and usable system, systems thinking has more to do with envisioning how the social networks and their dependencies are impacted by IT initiatives."

Abstract
This paper explains that managers who are responsible for decision making in corporate strategy planning have a significant burden placed on their shoulders because not only their decisions need to be substantive, timely and acceptable by those whom the decision will affect but also the decisions must have an element of ethical appropriateness. The author points out that, in order for employers and managers to evaluate the moral implications of an issue, it is first important that they be able to recognize that the issue does involve a moral aspect. The paper relates that managers and corporate executives involved in leading major change efforts within an organization, which must be kept confidential for certain period, may experience significant ethical dilemmas in their interactions with other managers, employees and consultants both inside and outside the organization.

From the Paper
"While some companies may put ethical issues in decision making strategies behind many other issues, there are some corporate types who still disregard them in making decisions. Take a look at Martha Stewart. She was involved in an insider trading situation which she must have known was illegal. She has been punished for her crime, but how many others who work for her company, from her vice presidents down to the laborers in factories that make her product have also paid the price as well, in declining share values and decreasing sales. When a corporate manager or executive makes a poor decision in this way, it is unlikely that he or she will be the only one hurt."
