CHANGE MANAGEMENT IN NOKIA3
Introduction
As discussed by Al-Haddad and Kotnour (2015), change management can be defined
as the discipline that is able to guide the proper preparation and supporting the individuals in
order to adopt to the changes in a successful way. The individuals who are a part of the
organization are considered to be unique in nature and change based needs are also unique. A
structured approach is provided by the change management process for the purpose of
providing support to the organizations so that they are able to move from the current state to
the future state. The change that are implemented in the organizations can be managed by the
individuals or by various teams who are a part of the change project (Alvesson and
Sveningsson 2015).
The report will be based on the study of an issue that is being faced by Nokia and the
implementation of two change management models in the analysis of this issue. The change
intervention that can be suggested to the organization in order to solve the issues that are
faced in the operations of Nokia. The barriers that can be faced in the proper application of

issues in the organization after implementing change intervention will be examined in the
