Abstract

Organizational changes are made for business decisions that aim to improve performance and achieve short- and long-term strategic goals. The decisions to change are usually based on analysis of the organization, and success is evaluated by improving bottom-line performance. And many changes are unplanned. Despite all the preplanning, external factors can change or even divert the progress of the organization. Change is inevitable, and a good change management process can help ensure the potential for success.
