Change is absolutely necessary within organizations. An organization cannot compete in today's competitive environment unless it is continuously changing and developing. For example, consider the company Blockbuster. At one point in time, Blockbuster was a leader in terms of video rentals. However, Blockbuster has closed all but one of its locations and has been taken over by companies like Hulu, Netflix, and Amazon.

-What opportunities did Blockbuster have for change?
-What prevented Blockbuster from proactively changing and remaining a market leader?
-Consider you were the Chief Human Resources Officer for Blockbuster in 2000, what advice would you have offered the CEO in regards to Antioco's proposal?
