Assignment 1-Managing Change: Change management is a structured approach for ensuring that changes are thoroughly and smoothly implemented, and that the lasting benefits of change are achieved. The focus is on the wider impacts of change, particularly on people and how they, as individuals and teams, move from the current situation to the new one. You are the manager of a manufacturing division of an international car brand. As a result of the decline in demand for your brand, cost cutting measures were introduced including moving your manufacturing plant to a new location that is 60 miles away from its current location. Also, you were asked by the executive management team to downsize your department by 20%. Construct a fully-developed message to communicate the change to your employees, indicate the method used to communicate the message, and provide your reasoning behind your choice.
