Analysis of Different Change Types in the Management Process of an Organisation

Abstract:

It is recognized that Change Management is a necessity in the current environment characterized by competitiveness and the desire for continuous innovation [3]. In order to answer these questions, the work begins with a secondary research of the different types of organizational change: change as development, change as transition, change as transformation, and then, by analyzing their particular characteristics, the risks associated with the process of change are identified the possible causes of possible implementation difficulties. Research results show that changing as a transition rarely involves adapting processes, existing tools, but rather replacing them with completely new ones (mergers, assignments, IT & C revolutions, etc.). One of the conclusions of this paper is that the success of a changing company depends not only on the way in which it is carried out, but also on the way it is maintained at the operational level during the change, so a complex management structure is needed. ensure the functionality of the company and supervise the change process.
