The management of the organizational change is considered to be one of the major
aspects that is linked to the success and the growth of the business organizations. Nordin et.al.
(2012) in his article entitled “A Framework for organizational change management in lean
manufacturing implementation” stated that the implementation of activities like lean
manufacturing assist in implementing the changes that are required to be made within various
departments within the company. The authors further argue on the fact that the implementation
of the lean manufacturing helps in the development of the required change in order to deal with
the overall development within the organization. Nordin et.al. (2012) further discusses the
importance of proper organizational communication and the impact of the same on the
implementation of the processes of lean management. The authors further shed light on the
importance of the training and the developmental procedures in the management of the lean
manufacturing processes.

change in a modern environment” discusses the processes of change management as has been
put forth by Huawei, a business firm dealing in technology. The article highlights the importance
of the implementation of the proper changes within the given organization. The authors of the

manage the changes. The article states the ways in which the research and development team
appointed by the company collects the required information about the changes that have been
implemented within the given markets. Zhu and Jones (2014) further discuss the ways in which
the strategies implemented by the company were changes in order to avoid the various negative
impacts that might affect the company in case the changes are not implemented.

the factors that are essential in the proper management of the organization. The article highlights
the various issues that reflect the ideas of the employees within the organization in relation to the

overall development of the organizational performances in the international markets. The article
highlights the fact that the technological changes that are implemented within the organizations
as well as the other changes that are implemented help in the development of the proper
organizational change in the given international markets. The authors highlight the fact that the
changes within the organization are inevitable in nature. This is due to the fact that the
organizational environment is subjected to the daily changes and regular growth. This requires
the concerned organization to keep up to the changes that are evident within the atmosphere
wherein the company has been operational. The change within the given organization tends to be
intimidating in terms of the changes that should be incorporated within the organization in order
to deal with the growth as well as the proper development of the organization.

structure in readiness for change: A conceptual integration. Health services management
research, 30(1), pp.34-46.
Benzer et al. (2017) in the article entitled “The role of organizational structure in
readiness for change: A conceptual integration” discusses the readiness for the acceptance of the
changes as a phenomenon that has been operational at the individual-levels. The authors of the
article tended to look into the existing literature on the impact of the organizational change in
relation to the structure that is maintained within the organization. The article highlights the fact
that the changes that are undertaken within the organization tend to affect the organizational
structure. The authors majorly discuss the fact that the organizational structure as is maintained
is highly affected by the organizational workforce. The article throws major light on the four
main factors that are related to the individual acceptance of the implemented changes on the part

of the employees of the organization. The article attempts to highlight the various issues that are
presented within the existent literature in terms of the issues that are related to the acceptance of
the changes within the organization. The article majorly explores the implementation of the
organizational change in firms that have been operating within the sector of health care. The

motivational factors that are associated with the readiness of the concerned employee in the
acceptance of the changes that the organizational management has been attempting to implement
within the organization.

and the impact of the same on the implementation of the processes of lean management. The
authors argue on the fact that the implementation of the lean manufacturing helps in the
development of the required change in order to deal with the overall development within the
organization. Zhu and Jones (2014), on the other hand, highlight the ways in which Huawei has
implemented the given processes in order to manage the changes. The article states the ways in
which the research and development team appointed by Huawei collects the required information
about the changes that have been implemented within the given markets. The authors have
further highlighted the fact that the changes that have been implemented within Huawei has been

addition, Banutu-Gomez and Banutu-Gomez (2016) highlights the various issues that reflect the

be implemented within the given workplace. The organizational workforce needs to
acknowledge the changes that need to be implemented within the organizational operations in the
realms of technology, society and the needs of the organizational workforce. However, Benzer et
al. (2017), on the other hand states that the article majorly explores the implementation of the
organizational change in business firms that have been operating within the sector of health care.
The article attempts to highlight the various issues that are presented within the existent literature
in terms of the issues that are related to the acceptance of the changes within the organization.
The literature studied in the afore-mentioned section helps in the proper understanding of the
impacts of the change on the overall operations of the business firm.
3. Practical implication for managers
The findings of the literature discussed above state that the contribution of the managerial
staff in the organizational development through the management as well as the implementations
of the proper changes within the given organization. The managerial members within the given
organization are advised to deal with the proper implementation of the various changes that have
been taking place within the given organization. The organizational management is considered to
be highly responsible for the conveyance of the changes that are to be implemented within the
organization in the near future. The managers within the organization should be advised to hold
the proper meetings in order to communicate the proper amount of the changes within the given
organization towards all the members of the workforce. This in turn would help in the proper
identification of the issues that might arise due to the implementation of the same. The managers
employed within the organization are further advised to help in the identification of the areas
wherein the employees might face issues and make attempts to resolve the highlighted issues.

4. Reflection on organizational change management
I have been able to develop my knowledge base on the impacts as well as the importance
of the organizational change management though attendance at lectures and independent
research and learning. The researches have also helped me gain knowledge on the importance of
the managerial intervention in the implementation of the changes within the given workplace.
The article by Banutu-Gomez and Banutu-Gomez (2016) has enlightened me on the involvement
of the issues highlighted by the employees within the organization as well as the influence of the
employee acceptance in the implementation of the changes within the organization.
In the composition of the article, I have also incorporated the various factors that had
been highlighted in the previous assignment. In this assignment I have taken care of the
plagiarism factor as well as included the proper in-text references and the entire references have
been listed in the Harvard parlance.
