Organisational Change Management
Question 1  Conduct research on “Change Management”. Explain the concept Change
Management in the context of Composants Perfectionnés.
Answer 1  Change management is a planned intervention that is implemented by business
organizations to transform their processes, operations, structure, technology, etc. in order to
become more effective and to cope up with the changing market trends (Hayes, 2018). The
spread of globalization has given rise to a fierce competition amongst business organizations
that have also become vulnerable to rapidly changing internal and external environment
factors. These factors, like technology, society, political, environmental, legal, etc. can
undergo a change rapidly and can force a business organization to implement workplace
changes in order to remain efficient.
Composants Perfectionnés is a French car component manufacturing company that has two
plants in France and additional plants in Spain and UK. The company has been able to
perform well since its foundation but the recent economic downturn has had a huge impact on
the demand, which has made it difficult for the company to survive in the market. The
prevailing condition is forcing the company to make changes in its structure by downsizing
its workforce and also shutting down some of its subsidiaries so that it could cope up with the
change that has been experienced in the industry. A major external force that has driven the
need for the organisation to change is the economic condition of the countries where the
company operates. The management of the company is now planning to cut down its costs by
streamlining its operations and limiting its manufacturing to some of the selected subsidiaries
as it would help the company in dealing with the fall in demand for its products and also to
remain competitive in the market for a long period of time.
