Organisational change refers to the whole process of introducing change within anorganisation, in terms of, processes, technologies, culture as well as strategies (Shire, Holtgreweand Kerst, 2017). In addition to this, it also takes the account certain impacts which isexperienced by each department within a company as well . The report below is based onorganisational change during Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A) and it covers influences ofchange agent in leading change, use of organisational communication strategies in meeting HRchallenges and use of organisational learning in managing employee stress level and emotions ina company.Influences of change agent in leading organisational change during M&AReview of the themeThere have been significant changes in organisations witnessed during M&A inhospitality industry. Furthermore, I aspire to be a manager in hospitality company where there isa likelihood of change happening around departments and organisational structures. In additionto this, changes within mergers and acquisitions are impact a firm for a long term and experiencequite an impact on change agents which must be acknowledged by a manager within suchindustry. There are several change agents who have specific influence throughout change withinan organisation. During M&A, there were certain agents which were both external as well asinternal to the organisation and both these categories had effective influence on leading change.As for internal agent, there were managers, employees and executives. In addition to this,external change agents counted for suppliers, investors and government (Gerlitz, 2015).I came across several theories related to change management which allowed the changeagents to function effectively and influence the overall process of change. However, oneprominent theory which helped me in gaining a better understanding of this influence in leadingchange. This theory is Kotter's Change Model, which is a highly effective model which isappropriate for analysing the influence of change agents.Application of theories/models in organisationsAnother sector which has faced merger and acquisition in recent times istelecommunication. Recently, Apple acquired PowerbyProxy. Organisational change within thecompany is also influenced by several change agents. In this scenario, internal change agents hadmuch of an impact within the case of the organisation. However, entities which play a very

crucial role within such a change within the company are CEO's, managers and leaders. All actas a change agent towards leading change within the organisation (Rusly, Sun and Corner, 2015).Managers and leaders within the company should operate actively towards motivatingemployees within the company. In addition to this, it is also necessary that a vision related to thechange is created which is facilitated throughout the organisation. Kotter's Change Managementmodel deals with the same concept of creating a vision and facilitating the same to ensureeffective transition of an organisation to restructure itself as per requirements. Leaders, whichare managers and CEO of the hotel should first create a sense of urgency within the overallorganisation in relation with the change. Within the company, change agents such as customersand government regulations have quite an influence on the operations of a firm while Mergers &Acquisitions (Elsetouhi, Elbeltagi and Haddoud, 2015). Customers change their preferences anddemands repeatedly, due to which, companies like Apple are influenced to change theirstructures so that they could keep service users satisfied. In addition to this, changinggovernment regulations also influence a firm in merging its operations with another company inorder to effectively enhance their functionality within the market. This is how a sense of urgencyis created within the company. A series of steps follows after this step, which are creating acoalition, forming a vision, enlisting volunteers, removing barriers, generate short-term wins,sustain acceleration and institute change. Change agent within the organisation are required tofunction actively in all these stages which generates a positive influence of these agents on theorganisation. Leaders within this process create strong and probable influence which helps in leadingsuch a structural change during M&A. Through using strong motivational techniques, a two-wayinformative pathway is built by these leaders which helps in creating a vision and integratingefforts of each organisational employee towards facilitation of change within M&A.Reflection of application of theories/models in personal work experienceIn my opinion, change agents play a very important and effective role within thecompany which is essential for facilitating professional experiences of manager as they could beone whilst bringing change within the company. I always aspired to become a manager inhospitality industry (Carroll and Helfert, 2015). However, in the past, this approach was noteffectively implemented, enhancing difficulties in convincing and persuading others towardschange. The reason for the same Is that people within an organisation are likely to achieve work
