"With the proliferation of today's consumer and business financial needs, coupled with available technology solutions, easing of regulatory constraints, and willingness of new players to enter the marketplace, banks face more competition than ever from financial product providers that traditionally were not significant players in the banking industry (Bitler, Robb, and Wolken, 2001, p. 184)."

From the Paper
"Camel Air was in the process of introducing a new computer system. However, the organizational structure was not prepared to implement change of the magnitude required. Employee resistance was the biggest problem. Influential employees were resistant to the idea of implementing the new computer system. The resistance stemmed from the fact that the employees were not familiar with using computer systems in their duly duties. As a result, they were not sure whether they would be able to fit into the new picture in which computer systems would play a large role. In this respect the challenge in front of the management was to engage the employees in the process of change management."

"Dell is widely recognized for their dominance of the build-to-order and mass customization processes for quickly and accurately tailoring products to the unique needs of their consumer and commercial accounts. While the PC manufacturer is often complimented for this capability, the change management required internally was a major challenge for the company, especially as it has grown increasingly into a services-driven business. The concentration on order capture accuracy, order management, and order fulfillment requires a continual commitment to improve existing selling, supply chain, production, and fulfillment including services strategies forces the issue of changing these processes often to make them more competitive."

From the Paper
"Werthiem (n.d.) states that the concept of organizational management and change can be traced back to the building of the pyramids (sec. 1). During this time it was essential for the armies of men that took part in the making of these structures to have an organizational plan, leadership and the ability for change when the initial plans required adjustment (Werthiem, n.d., sec. 1). Organizational change was also evident during the Protestant Reformation when religious organizations began to emerge and wanted to detach themselves from the traditional churches that had been the foundation of faith for so long (Werthiem, n.d., sec. 1). Yet, the largest evidence that organizations began compiling strategies for change occurred during the industrial revolution (Werthiem, n.d., sec. 1). This was because the world was inundated with massive populations in urban areas that made demands upon society as never before. These demands affected government, community, business and educational organizations, which found that they could no longer operate as they had in the past."

All this involves leveraging experience curves, the transfer of new technology in a better manner through the use of global systems and reducing slacks within the system. The entire quality of service has to be improved through faster resolution of problems..."

Abstract
This writer analyzes change and how various organizations that he has dealt with in the past managed or viewed change. The forces of change or those that influence change management are discussed in depth. Additionally, a chart illustrating how various organizations have weighted the importance of managing change is introduced. Finally, change as viewed by Senge is reviewed and expanded upon as being something that can and should also be procedurally integrated into a firm's operations.
