Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Information Systems and Organizational Change This paper discusses long-term change in organizations in relation to information systems. The aim is to explain why innovation is so difficult and to point towards effective strategies for managing the process of change. Many commentators have drawn attention to problems of implementation that result in systems being technical successes but organizational failures Urban (69), Grayson (23), Keen (32), Drake (18). Their analyses stresses the complexity of organizational systems and the social inertia that dampens out the intended effects of technical innovations. The growing body of research on implementation mainly deals with tactical issues: how to create a climate for change and build and institutionalize a specific system. This paper focuses on strategic questions: (1) What are the causes of social inertia? (2) What are the main organizational constraints on change? (3) What are the mechanisms for effecting change? The dilemma to be resolved is that effective implementation relies on incremental change, small-scale projects and face-to-face facilitation [Ginzberg (22), Vertinsky, et al. (71), Keen and Scott Morton (36)]. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Large Scale Organizational Change written by Christopher Laszlo and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-05-31 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Large Scale Organizational Change provides the principles by which large scale organizations reinvent themselves not once, but on an ongoing basis. Continual reinvention allows leading companies to learn, adapt, and innovate faster than competitors in complex and fast changing environments. These action principles are based on first-hand experience at the world's leading Fortune 500 companies using emergent models of living systems. The context for large scale organizations is one of information overload, complexity and constant change. This book reduces the sense of vulnerability felt by managers. It provides a guide to piloting change in ways that lead to constant renewal and a capacity to survive frequent and often brutal changes in the operating environment. It describes a leadership concerned with the capacity to learn, inflection points, emergent strategies, knowledge management, the ability to anticipate, and tapping into the distributed intelligence resident in the organization. Large Scale Organizational Change provides managers with a framework for making their organizations highly adaptive in the complex market systems in which they operate, thereby reducing or eliminating the need for periodic episodes of traumatic restructuring and sometimes fatal reengineering processes.

Therefore the organization structure in an environment of change must be stable in the short run but flexible in the long run. Short-run stability is necessary for problem solution and acquisition of new knowledge, and long-run flexibility for responding to changes in the environment and exploiting the new knowledge.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Organizational Development Through Planned Change: A Development Model For some time now I have sensed a certain regularity in my consulting relationships - a certain inevitability to the unfolding process of the consulting relationship. This regularity excites me and I have found my awareness of it to be quite useful in planning and executing consulting interventions. I have a hunch that it may be useful to other consultants and clients as well. In testing these ideas with Al Frohman, I found that he, too, had sensed these regularities in his work. As a result we have set out together to make these intuitive feelings more explicit. This paper represents our first attempt to set these ideas down. We see the paper not as a product, but as a tool for further clarifying our thoughts. Much of what you read here may seem obvious, some of it controversial, some of it intriguing. Please share these reactions with us. The process of planned change can be conceived of as a dynamic seven stage process. These stages: scouting, entry, diagnosis, planning, action, evaluation, and termination are pictured diagrammatically below.
