1MANAGEMENT AND ORGANIZATIONAL CHANGE
Introduction
The topic of organizational change has a huge impact on the shaping up the organizations
in a proper manner. The organizations have to make a proper change in its operational
procedures to gain the more benefits indeed. The organizations always want to get the most
benefits in their operations as they want to improve their performance all over. If they do not
improve their operational procedures they will not be able be able to compete with their rivals
within the industry. This is why the change management will have to be made the most
important aspect in most thriving organizations indeed (Benn, Dunphy & Griffiths, 2014) It has
also to be mentioned that there are many tools that the organizations must tend to imply on their
operational procedures. These tools will be much beneficial for the employees as well as for the
managers. If the managers are not well acquainted with these change processes they will surely
undergo some issues in the future indeed (Green, 2012).
It has to be clarified first what the idea of organizational change actually implies. The
organizational changes will have to be discussed and implemented by the managers positively.
The employees and managers must have a proper communication between them so this will be
helpful for the organizations as well. These organizational changes vary from one organization to
another depending on the organizational cultures and structures (Alvesson, 2012). It has to be
said that the change in the organizational procedures becomes almost inevitable most times since
the older procedures cannot cope up with the recent changes in the industry. The competition
becomes so high that the organizations need to bring in some new management skills to improve
their profits. This is completely a systematic approach indeed. The effective change management
will have to be implemented in the organizations by using several tools. The technical
involvement is also very important in this context as well (Hayes, 2014).

The focus for the organizational change will be on the organizational change tools. The
selected tools for this essay are Total Quality Management and High Performance Work
Organization (Oakland, 2014). These tools are very important for the improvement of the
organizations. The total quality management is the management approach that puts the entire
focus on the customer satisfaction. The products and services should be improved by the use of
the TQM (Sallis, 2014). High Performance Work Organization tool focuses on the total
development of the organization. The managers have to prepare a proper planning by keeping the
latest trends in the industry. This will improve the perfection of the organization (Benn, Dunphy
& Griffiths, 2014).
Thesis statement: This essay is set to determine the fact that total Quality Management and
High Performance Work Organization are both useful for the manufacturing industry.
However, the Total Quality Management will be the useful tool for change in the service
industry.
Tools for manufacturing industry
This part of the essay will focus on the change management tools for the manufacturing
industry. The tool identified for this section is the High Performance Work Organization (Lieder
& Rashid, 2016). The recent studies have found that the high performance work organization
tool can be used in the manufacturing industry to improve the practices in those organizations.
One of the most important things in this context is the organizational culture (Alvesson &
Sveningsson, 2015). This makes a huge impact on the achievement of the organizational goals.
This tool focuses on the involvement of the employees in a larger way.

Features of the HPWO
The High performance work organization tool helps the organizations in the
manufacturing organizations to assess the difficulties in different areas and solve them instantly
(Katzenbach & Smith, 2015). The organizations should always use all the organizational
resources to improve the work performance of the organizations (Katzenbach & Smith, 2015).
The management style that is followed in this high performance work organizations are
democratic or participative. The employees can make the important decisions as well.
Shortcomings of HPWO
The workers in these HPWO firms will not be able to shift to other industries because the
career paths are limited. The organizations focus mainly on the decision making of the
employees so many management divisions are omitted from the organizational structure. The
teams look to concentrate on the autonomous procedures so they do not have to seek opinion
from seniors (Katzenbach & Smith, 2015).
Advantages of HPWO
The employee attitudes are always right from every aspect. The employees possess a
good understanding on the organizational procedures (Katzenbach & Smith, 2015). The
employees can co-operate with each other in a better way both inside and outside of the
organizations because they build up a good understanding between them. The organizations can
set up more strategies to implement their needs. This will probably be helpful for them indeed.
The organizations in the HPWO will achieve good results and they can gain the competitive
advantages.
