Download or read book Organizational Change written by Sorin Dumitrascu and published by . This book was released on 2017-01-13 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Learning about change helps you to realize that change is normal. It also helps you understand what's going on in your own organization and what steps you can take to prepare for changes that may affect your job.Organizational change is change that affects the entire organization rather than a localized change.When organizations make externally-driven changes, they are reacting to the immediate business circumstances they are in. However, making an internally-driven change is proactive and is often a result of innovative ideas.Organizations strive to create stability, but they are forced to adapt to changing environments. The incremental tactical changes that organizations implement on a day to day basis are strategic adjustments. It's relatively easy to adapt to a strategic adjustment. A few small things change, but most people's work stays very much the same.Sometimes, organizations have to change their ways of doing things more significantly with strategic reorientations that involve changes to strategies and new ways of working. When an organization experiences strategic reorientation, people often have to acquire new skills, and the nature of their work may change significantly.Organizations that experience major change are going through transformational change. This is uncommon, but when it happens it represents an upheaval and a change in the goals, identity, or nature of an organization. Transformational change has a very strong impact on employees and can be difficult to handle.Common reactions to high-impact organizational change are negative, instigative, passive-aggressive, neutral, and positive.When organizational change occurs, each person may move through six stages of reaction - shock, denial, anger, passive acceptance, exploration, and challenge.Your reactions to change affect the stages of reaction that you move through. The more positive your reaction, the quicker you move into the more positive stages of reaction.Organizational change is inevitable, but can lead to feelings of fear and anxiety. It's important to be prepared because the ability to handle organizational change is highly valued by employers, and because the stress that accompanies change can have negative effects on your personal and professional life.The characteristics of people who handle change effectively are the ability to acknowledge and share their feelings about the change, a willingness to take risks, an openness to the unknown, and having a good support system of family and friends.Two kinds of skills needed to handle change effectively are self-management skills and stress management skills.Self-management involves identifying and constructively addressing your emotional responses to change, while stress management involves knowing how to deal with anxiety, tension, and frustration.The self-doubt, confusion, and despondency that often result from organizational change can rob a person of all motivation and enthusiasm. So it's important to stay self-motivated by believing in yourself, thinking positive thoughts about the future, having strong goals to focus on, and cultivating a motivating and supportive environment.

Download or read book Managing Organizational Change written by Sorin Dumitrascu and published by . This book was released on 2017-05-17 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How does a company survive for over 100 years? Chances are the answer to that question is never going to be "by doing the same thing it has always done." Typically, corporate survivors have long histories of innovation in both products and business practices. Company history probably includes consolidations, mergers, acquisitions, liquidations, and diversifications, as well as numerous ramp-ups and subsequent layoffs. So the real answer to the question of how a company survives is likely to be "by changing."For modern companies to survive, even in the short term, change is no longer an option - it's a requirement. In an age where global communication is instantaneous and technological innovations are constant, an organization's ability to change becomes one of its key assets.Consider how many times things have changed in your work environment in the last few years or even the last few months. How did those changes impact you and your coworkers? Chances are the changes were quite different in each case, with more or less resistance and greater or lesser success. There are different types of organizational change, ranging from incremental improvements to complete overhauls. There are many different methods for dealing with change as well.This book presents the fundamentals of organizational change, including what is meant by change. The time-honored model of change developed by social psychologist Kurt Lewin in the early part of the twentieth century is used to explain the different phases of change as well as the actions to take in each.One topic details the two broad categories of organizational change: evolutionary change and transformational change. Within these categories, you'll learn how to distinguish between strategic adjustments, strategic reorientations, and organizational transformations.Finally, this book covers some of the different theoretical approaches for managing organizational change and the practical application of combining strategies for greater effect.You'll also learn about weighing the various factors affecting change strategy, such as the time frame and extent of the change, the potential resistance within the organization, and the risks involved.It's becoming more and more important to know how to effectively implement change, and how to make your organization more readily changeable.As a leader, you will be required to manage or lead organizational change throughout your career. A good understanding of change fundamentals will serve as a strong foundation from which to craft your change strategies.Good leaders know that success is directly related to the support of those they're leading. If you're going to lead organizational change, you need to know how to build support for the change.Organizational change requires people to change - potentially the way they work, think, their habits, routine, and schedule. Faced with change, especially where their livelihood is concerned, people can react negatively; they may get anxious and defensive. Feelings are affected. As a leader, you need to manage your employees' feelings in the best interest of the organizational change.So how do you gain support in the face of almost certain resistance? Through open and honest communication. Involve your employees in the change by inviting their input, and listening to and considering what they say. Employees are a valuable source of information. And involving them demonstrates you value their opinion and respect their contributions, which will build support for the change.This book explores tips, techniques, and strategies that will help you successfully build support for change in your organization.Promoting support for organizational change will require you to motivate, listen, and support your employees through the change.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Transitioning new engineers into professionals who can blend in and contribute to the technical organization is, at best, doubtful. Trained in the "nuts and bolts" of a technical subject, new engineers have little to no training on the "soft" skills of how to work within an organization. This robust guide shows new engineers how to quickly operate and succeed within their new engineering organization. Navigating the Engineering Organization: A New Engineer’s Guide focuses on the group behaviors of technical organizations. It provides a rigorous organizational framework to operate from and delivers guidance using a dual approach of academic insight and professional experience. Through numerous case studies, the book presents actual experiential guidance and offers a method on how to extend the insights covered in the book and turn them into a valuable personal model, valid throughout the engineer’s career. It helps readers understand quickly the unique values and expectations within their new engineering organization and guides them in discovering the proper ways to respond to these expectations. They can then act on these insights to deliver successful results, now and throughout their careers. The approach and goals found in this book provide a building block to help all new engineers cross the "Great Divide" from student to professional and succeed in their new engineering organization.
