transformational theory in organisation design is to focuses towards the support for

approaches and techniques of HRM are describe in detail in the below paragraphs these are as
follows:
Management approach: HRM is part of management in which handling, directing and
controlling of people in the workplace is perform. All subordinates and employees are managed
by HR manager in the company (Gölzer and Fritzsche, 2017). As Syngenta AG is a global
organisation so it involves huge number of employees in different places so by adopting this
approach goal can easily be achieved as it involves directing and controlling activity.
Strategic approach: Work force are the strategic assets for any company as Human

According to this, money is the important element that helps to hire people like a commodity. It
help Syngenta AG to appoint professional and experienced employees by offering good packages
and perquisites that tends to motivate employees to work hard for long term retention in the
organisation.
System approach: It is a set of different elements working in combine to achieve the
targets of company in effective manner. HRM is a system that have parts like procurement,
training, appraisal of performance and reward as all the activity is interrelated to each other
(Hayes, 2018). By using this approach Syngenta AG can achieve a common goal as it follows
all the process, that helps to make proper control over the workforce.
To appoint sincere and skilled employees in the organisation various different techniques
are adopted by human resource manager of company. Some of these techniques are mentioned in
the below mentioned paragraphs such as:

the performance of their employees as it gives many benefits to motivate employees that help to

Interpretation:
In above approaches where three are highlight in scenario of Syngenta AG company

In motivation there are some important theory which helps to utilise in practical situation
such as Herzberg Two factor theory that depicts about one is Motivators and second is
Hygiene factor. Employees who are dedicated towards their goal and responsibility are come
under Motivator factor and aspect of dissatisfaction with job, unskilled and unproductive
performance are considered as Hygiene factor.
Training: It is a method that was adopted to improve skills and knowledge of a person
by providing guidance and instruction time to time so that they can easily learn and perform their

6

Cooperation: It is an activity that is to be performed to give support to other person so

managers of Syngenta AG creates satisfaction in the minds of workers (Kuruppu and Lodhia .,
2019). With the help of this chances of being successful increase because people can get together
their skills towards a common goal.
Evaluation:
By using of Herzberg Two factor of theory is utilised in Syngenta AG company that
allows to get attain high optimisation where tow type of motivators and hygienic where some of
are tend to hard work as well as dedicate towards working objective and hygienic is allows to not
motivate for working aspect, less dedication and lower interest into aims and motive where that

acquire to implement motivator factor of employees which able to get goal oriented people that
helps to gain positive outcomes.

P3. Covered in PPT.
Task 4.
P4. Evaluate how Organisational design has to respond and adapt to change the management the
relationship which exists between by using two specific organisational situation.
The Organisational Design is the form of managerial process where it involves the
creation of roles, process and structure to ensure that the organisation's goal is aware among with
employees. The arises of issues in organisation design to often some of hardest problems that

roles and process that directly impact to current jobs for better career management. The impact
of change management is a collective term that implies the effective approach. This is kind of
guide that supports by the individual in terms of prominently to adopt the changes is introduced
for attaining effective policies to expected the better form of outcomes. Within the perspective of
Syngenta AG, the role of change management is some time tries to generate the employee
7

retention within an organisation which puts negative impact at the time of enhancing to
betterment of the organisation.
There is two main objective which considered by the change management:
 To increase the adaptation possibilities in relation to the environment, this change
implementation in Syngenta AG allows to build healthy relationship with among peers. For develop the environment where the model and the system of values that effectively

work objective on the basis of their result. Some of changes is highlight below in perspective of
Syngenta AG company their existence is important are:
 Transformational Changes: This type of change exists in rare cases, but the trait of
this nature is highly essential as well as involves the significantly eliminates from the
previous situation change. It helps to leads towards the identifies culture, norms along
with better understanding social climatic that turns up with technological advancement.
As in the presence of transformation changes in Syngenta AG company, the manager
would tries to customised in policies that helps to eliminates the issues and introduce
new trend that would stabilize the condition of country.
 Incremental changes: According to this type of changes adjusted in a systematic
manner where it implies as logical and modify from the past situations. The change
applies when to customised in effective way of existing technology, expansion of
existing market and more (Urban., 2017). In situation of Syngenta AG company,
manager are seeking for requirement for adopting the change where resources can
replace by the new ones and new employees can be hire on the basis of requirement in
different credentials.
 Psychological changes: This form of leads to creating the influence which is useful to
better understand and investigate the stabilisation of change. On the basis of change
employees does not accept the impact of change and which leads it to decrease the
8

overall performances. Therefore, the manger of Syngenta AG venture need to make
understand and convince about the changes which going to be implacable as per the
new situation. The benefit would be raise of new procedure and tries to reflect the new
behaviour that support to increase self motivation.
Relationship Between Organisation Design and Change management:

instruction in order to assess and reshape the structure of organisation and it also involves the
effective process, approaches, method and skills that support to move ahead by generating the
workflow that enables to highlight mission, vision and core values of Syngenta AG company.
As above sections the meaning of organisational design is to form compliance oriented

structure that provide benefits to the company and in other hand, if the company wants to
introduce the type of change within an organisation. Employees and their superior need to work
together for successfully implementation of certain organisation design that could provide

Difference between organisation design and change management.

conclude as to determine each organisation is implements towards their performance in the
competitive marketplace which brings the constant improvement by implies of operation. But as
condition arises where enhancing to get compete with the increasing competition and different
