Question - Organizational Change Process

Imagine that you are a leader working within an MNC. You have been working with a division manager who is frustrated that changes he tries to implement are unsuccessful. You have asked the manager to prepare a procedural document that you can use when changes need to be implemented.

Your assignment is to direct the manager in preparing procedures for implementing change.

• Describe the types of change the organization (for example, evolutionary, revolutionary) could experience and how to create procedures for dealing with each.
• Include how to deal with possible resistance to change, including how the division manager could work with on-site managers to support the change.
