1. Briefly discuss the relevance of
change in organizations, enlist the types of change and describe the factors
contributing to change citing suitable examples.
Answer : Any
business in today's fast-moving environment that is looking for the pace of
change to slow is likely to be sorely disappointed. In fact, businesses should
embrace change. Change is important for any organization because, without change,
businesses would likely lose their competitive edge and fail to meet the needs
of what most hope to be a growing base of loyal customers.
Technology
Without
change, business leaders still would be dictating correspondence to
secretaries, editing their words and sending them back to the drawing board,
wasting time for all involved. Change that results from the adoption of new technology
is common in most organizations and while it can be disruptive at first,
ultimately the change tends to increase productivity and service
Technology
also has affected how we communicate.
2. Discuss the concept of
‘process-based change’. Cite organizational examples where process based change
has taken place successfully.
Answer : Process-based organizational
change has attracted considerable attention in
recent decades, with the rise of total quality management (TQM) being followed
by the emergence of business process reengineering (BPR). Since contextual
factors can influence both the adoption and results of these process-based
change initiatives, their international popularity has created an imperative to
move beyond a culture-bounded perspective. The stark philosophical, economic
and historical differences between Americans and the Chinese make the
comparison of process-based organizational change in these two societal

Before
beginning the intervention, baseline data or information must be collected for
the intended outcomes. The intended outcomes of your intervention were
identified when preparing the intervention goals, objectives, outcomes and a
logic model (see Readiness and Preparation). Information and data that were
collected when conducting your needs assessment (see Assessment) may provide
some or all of the baseline
4. Explain the concept of
organizational diagnosis. Describe any two methods of diagnosis and its
benefits and limitations with the help of examples.
Answer : Organizational diagnosis is
a process based upon behavioral science theory for publicly entering a human
system, collecting valid data about human experiences with that system, and
feeding that information back to the system to promote increased understanding
of the system by its members (Alderfer, 1981). Purpose of organizational
diagnosis is to establish a widely shared understanding of a system and based upon
that understanding to determine whether change is desirable.
What is organisational diagnosis?
Describe the steps and methods of organisational analysis. Discuss the process
of organisational analysis with
5. Write an essay on ‘managing
transitions’. Differentiate it from ‘managing change’. Take a hypothetical
organization and apply the rules for managing transition.
Answer : “managing transitions” was
authored by William Bridges.
William Bridges was
an American author, speaker, and organizational consultant. He emphasized the
importance of understanding transitions as a key for organizations to succeed
in making changes. He says that transition the psychological process of
adapting to change. Transition consists of three phases; letting go of the past, the
"neutral zone" where the past is gone but the new isn't fully
present, and making the new beginning.
