tactics.
To remain competitive in marketplace, it is very much essential for an organisation to
evolve oneself to the changing environment (Scarlett, 2019). But the nature of change is
incredibly disruptive that affect on the employee's, top management and achievements of an
organisation. So to avoid all the adverse effects of change needed strong change management
that adopt new kind of strategies and tactics needed to comply with changes.
Over view of the organisational case studies:
Sports direct is a sports brand of the UK that acquired the fashion firm Jack Wills a
fashion brand with motive of building brand identify after considering financial position of a
firm. By adopting strategy of buying as well as adding value irrespective of financial position. In
addition to they pay attention on the reduction of expanses such as rent to operate in proper

turning up to seven of house of fraser's 50 plus stores called Fraser. Fraser stored their stocks
related to designer labels to reach at large no. of audience. Same plan carried out by them in their
all layouts to be rebranded.
Change as a constant requirement:
What is change in a business context?
In simple terms, business change refers to the movement of company from the current
position to the desirable position (SHEIKH, AIBAGHI and LOTFI, 2019). The changes in an
organisation can be relatively small such as bring improvement in the billing procedure,
reforming the entire product and services in unexpected competition. In context of Sports direct
they bought the another fashion firm that bring change in their strategies and tactics.
How does position and perception influence a view of change as negative or positive?
The effect or view of change relies on the way management handled whole change
process. There are kinds of models for effective kind of change that helps to understand the
necessity of change and concern of management about emotional effects of it for employee's. If
management properly articulated change then it is easy for them to positively give one of their
best efforts in order to remain competitive in marketplace (Uohara And et.al ., 2019). For
example if in the change process will consisted the reduction in the no. of employee's, in that
situation the emotional connection of employers affected a lot on the commitment of
organisation. In that case if management not care about the situation from which employee's
affected then it negatively influence.
