Succeeding with organizational change: A step-by-step approach
Abstract
Purpose
This paper aims to review the latest management developments across the globe and pinpoint practical implications from cutting-edge research and case studies.
Design/methodology/approach
This briefing is prepared by an independent writer who adds their own impartial comments and places the articles in context.
Findings
Rapid developments in technology and the increase in global competition combine to ensure that the business environment is subject to frequent change. Organizations must evolve to succeed and grow. Those which fail to do so are effectively reserving their place among the also-rans. These tough challenges facing companies aren’t going away in a hurry. Being equipped with the ability to adapt is therefore crucial. Indeed, effective performance in both the short and longer term depends on it. The failure rate of change initiatives remains staggeringly high. To say that change management needs to be taken seriously is therefore stating the obvious.
Practical implications
The paper provides strategic insights and practical thinking that have influenced some of the world’s leading organizations.
Originality/value
The briefing saves busy executives and researchers hours of reading time by selecting only the very best, most pertinent information and presenting it in a condensed and easy-to-digest format.
