From the Paper
"Organisational change is a necessary as it ensures the continuing development and renewing of a firm in order to keep up with changing dynamics of business environment. Companies decide to change in response to new technology and materials, the changing needs and wants of customers, economic changes, political changes and the introduction of new government policies, and the publics changing interests in cultural activities. Apart from these external factors, there are also internal factors such as; innovations in the product design and manufacturing, new senior managers with new ideas, low staff morale leading to poor performance, stress and high staff turnover, with unsatisfactory skill levels that suggests more training is required. Change is a natural progression and should be seen as a positive move for an organisation."

From the Paper
"External forces greatly influence the change in an organisation and are often the trigger for a change process. Some of the common external factors are economic, technological & social and political forces. All of these forces need to be analysed from whether it is a competitor's new product pushing prices down and increasing competitiveness to the general trends of finance or the direction the government is taking the country and the tightening or relaxing of regulations. All of these forces require watching and acting upon when required."

From the Paper
"The task of change management is to bring order to a messy situation (14). Essentially, it seeks to magnify and systematically handle all known and unknown elements in the business environment that could affect the efficient and profitable operation of an organization (13). In most cases, change management involves a problem, which is addressed by transformation, reduction or application. By transformation, the management task is to change the situation from a "problem state" to a "solved state," while the goal in reduction is to lessen the magnitude of the problem to blunt its effects on the organization. In application, the organization calls in specialists to transform, reduce or eliminate the problem (21). There is always the option of doing nothing and leaving things as they are but management scholars have consistently and strongly questioned this course of action (12)."

Abstract
This paper explains that change must be implemented slowly, steadily, and with much forethought; simply piloting new changes and determining that it is likely to be beneficial is insufficient. The author points out that, if the change has been implemented and is to be successful, the new situation needs to be frozen-in, so that it can be sustained over time; unless this step is taken, there is a high chance that the change will be short-lived, and employees will attempt to revert to the previous equilibrium state. The paper stresses that, to understand the impact of the change, senior management must listen to the ground by initiating discussion with trade unions and obtain their feedback and input on any proposed changes before implementation.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Resistance to change is not always dysfunctional. It can provide a vehicle for employees to release pent-up frustrations. Rather than let those frustrations fester, overt resistance allows employees to bring their feelings to the surface. Management can then address employee concerns, help them understand the change better, and lessen its threat. Employee resistance may also bring to light problems in a change proposal that management had overlooked. In an odd way, employee resistance is a form of checks-and-balances on management and acts to preserve the organization's culture."

Abstract

The paper describes the benefits of change within organizations and looks at the ways in which managers can help to facilitate the smooth transition to change among employees.
From the Paper
"An organization has its own personality or culture. This can be the generator of force for change. Needs within the organization stimulate change, these are internal forces of change. New strategy, new technology, and change in employee attitudes, are internal factors that create change. New equipment can create the need for change within the workplace. The staff will need to learn how to use the equipment, and may affect duties required of them. New company strategies, may also involve change in management practices, agreements, and relations. Employee attitudes, in the case of job dissatisfaction, poor team spirit, lack of commitment and job insecurity, can create the need for new company strategies. External forces affecting an organization create threats and opportunities. These external forces are apparent in an organizations external environment, and may include political, legal, technological, and economic dimensions."

Abstract
This paper examines the subject of globalization in the business world. It examines the necessity for it, the opportunities such a decision affords, employee resistance that can occur and the importance of top management involvement.
From the Paper
"Because of the rising level of competition, businesses are expanding globally in order to generate additional demand for their products and services. In addition to creating extra opportunities for growth through access to a wider market, global expansion also facilitates access to low cost operations. For example, manufacturing costs in China are the lowest to be found anywhere in the world with advanced infrastructural facilities. As a result, businesses in the West have been moving their operations to China by setting up manufacturing facilities there. Businesses with services offerings or those involved in the development of information technologies are increasingly turning to India for the availability of low-cost manpower in these areas. As a result of these trends, more and more businesses are going global in a variety of ways. Some businesses are expanding simply to the extent of setting up marketing and sales offices globally. Others are setting up manufacturing operations globally. Others are offering franchises. However globalizing operations efficiently and effectively is a highly challenging task in managing change. And this is an ongoing process since after operations have been shaped up to address global issues, the issues of managing change remain in the form of the need for rightsizing emerging periodically in response to the changing business environment. In managing these changes, I would select the evolutionary model for change"
