2MANAGEMENT OF CHANGEAnswer to Question 1Ontology and epistemology are the two vital perspectives that are used in higher levelchange management. Ontology helps in capturing the knowledge to the organization ofinformation and digital content. It is essential for sharing of knowledge in educationaltechnology systems, bioinformatics, semantic web, retrieval and indexing. Ontology also helps inbringing the required change in business requirements. Ontological changes include importantchanges in the concept hierarchy. The process of ontology includes four phases which aredescribed in details[ CITATION Vol17 \l 1033 ].Change operationalisation is the first phase of ontology and it captures the real change inthe organization. These changes can be applied in a specific domain of higher level and it isassociated with change operators. The changes can also be based on granularity and it isneglected by low level organizations. There are three different layers which are associated in thisphase. The first two phases are associated with specific domain and the later change focuses ongranularity[ CITATION Ros17 \l 1033 ].The second phase of ontology is change representation and it is associated with theimplementation of the change operator framework. This is also supported by layered change logsand various pattern techniques are used to identify the change patterns. Graph based foundationis also applied in this phase[ CITATION Rot16 \l 1033 ].Change semantic capturing is the third phase of ontology and it represents the atomicchange operation which is related with the addition or deletion of any information in ontology.The various composite change patterns provide semantic knowledge of the changes in ontologyand also highlight the specific reason of these changes [ CITATION Alv15 \l 1033 ]
3MANAGEMENT OF CHANGEChange pattern discovery is the fourth stage and it is associated with the discovery ofdomain specific change. It also provides an opportunity in defining the reusable change patterns[CITATION Vol17 \l 1033 ]Epistemology focuses on the rationality of thinking and justification and nature ofknowledge. It includes the scope, philosophical analysis, justification of knowledge,identification of problem and source of knowledge. Epistemologies have divergent expressionsand assumptions of social knowledge and individual processes [ CITATION And15 \l 1033 ]. The ontology perspective of change management highlights the alternation of knowledgein fulfilling the organizational objectives. In order to bring change in the organization, it is vitalto develop the existing knowledge and this can be done through sharing of information. On thecontrary according to epistemology, managerial or organizational change is associated with newopportunities and this helps in the implementation of new practices and processes in theorganization. This can be done by identifying the correct issues[ CITATION McC16 \l 1033 ]. There is a close relationship between the theoretical perspectives of epistemology andontology and this is based on the source and scope of knowledge. Knowledge is vital in order toimplement changes in the organization. Thus, it can be said that in an organizational context,employees must try to gather more knowledge which will help to implement and accept newchanges that will help the organization. If an individual do not have proper knowledge, it willhamper the business. Thus, it can be said that both the process of ontology and epistemology isclosely related and this helps to bring new change in the organization process[ CITATIONMor16 \l 1033 ].
