Organizational Change

Change is a necessity for elevation as for example, change in an organization must lead to development, to a higher level than the real existed one. Change can be made in any department in the organization by any of its members. Managers are the most important persons to encourage other employees to do changing steps yet they have to explain why changes are going to be made, what benefits are going to be gained out of change and how such changes can be achieved. An employee has to cope with changes made in the organization so as to keep the job he or she masters and to be promoted due to working for the welfare of the organization. Change needs many things in order to be well performed such as delivering the tasks specifically on all employees, specifying all steps needed to reach successful change and doing the change on the exact suitable timing for it. Change sometimes is radical and then it is called transformation. Change may be required to replace retarding parts of the business with progressive ones and sometimes it is rejected by some employees but competitive leaders can perform change with neglecting this resistance. There are many areas of change such as technological change, strategic change or people change. There are techniques for managing change such as learning everything and understanding the current situation of the business and analyze it in order to identify all weak points and problems faced by the organization and hindering its progress, stating the future wishes and ambitions is also another technique to set all future desires required to make the business reach its extreme success and competitive advantage in the market. Ordering the steps of change is a must when trying to implement a change even if it is small so as to prepare everything needed to perform such change effectively. Change can be a tool for leading a company towards development and success or to lead it to failure which occurs when change is not performed as planned and not made for the purposes set before so any company that try to implement change has to be cautious when it thinks of performing change.
