Defining Organizational Change
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper discussing some of the reasons for and mechanisms of organizational change. America's discovery of Japanese cars was the first real indication that American manufacturing would have to change in order to keep up, but it was discovered that accomplishing that change involved far more than just doing things differently than in the past. It was also necessary for management attitudes to change as well. Today, the principles described by Kurt Lewin in the 1940s are as true as they were then, and management at the most successful of companies has discovered that lasting and beneficial change occurs when management sets the stage, but employees lead the implementation of change.
