Introduction to Organization
Woolworths Group is among the top five companies of Australia and it has grown
into the largest retail business in the country concerning the food and beverage items. The
company is the second largest in the country as per its revenue and the organization has been
known for its services and quality of food. Though the success of the organization has been
wide in nature, it witnessed some loopholes in the company which resulted in huge losses in
the past few years. The deteriorating nature of the company has initiated in 2012 and
gradually it marked the highest loss in 2016. The loss has been the cause of the poor services
provided by the staffs of the retail outlets and this gradually increased due to the lack of
proper and effective management (Bailey et al. 2015). The company carries about 33000
employees and 800 retail stores all over the world which has increased the necessity of
enhancing its management skills and provide the company with some authentic and sensitive
management. The working of the organization follows a hierarchy which initiates with the
supervisor of the retail store who needs to look after the entire store and the staff and with
few managers of the store who manages the staffs. Though the hierarchy has been planned in
an accurate manner, still there is lack of management (Parker et al. 2018). The analysis of
the organization through the SWOT and PEST would help in acknowledging the internal and
the external environment of the organization and thus the requirement of the change or the
area that needs to be improvised would be revealed. The organization learning and change
would be explored.

realises that the company is stepping towards the downfall. The downfall of a company could

& Green (2015), that the organization s resources could be managed in the most effective and
in the maximum way only if it’s human resource is being managed in the most effective way.
This concept has laid down the change management theory that is if the company is
declining, the management team of the company needs to be checked and transformed. There

According to Hayes (2018), Kurt Lewin’s three phase model is a systematic way of
implementing the change in the management. The foremost step is the thaw phase which is
the time when the company is trying to overcome the resistant to change. This is followed by
the second phase and that is implementing the changes that has been planned through taking
up the measures such as training and education. The last phase is to refreeze that is the
changes has been finalised and now it has become the policy of the company. This means that
the model works on a trial basis where the changes are tested and if it works well then it gets
finalised in the last phase and becomes a policy of the company.
On the other hand, a model is described by Cummings et al. (2016), name as
McKinsey’s 7-S model where a faceted holistic structure is provided which could be
manipulated as per the needs of the company. The seven strategies that gets implemented
through this model in order to change the management are shared value, structure, strategy,
systems, staff, skills, and style. The model presents seven perspectives to change which could
be utilised by the company in any format which suits the company and is an open ended
model. It has also been mentioned by Gorelick & Zheng (2015), that the model is quite
confusing in nature because of which the model is not applied by many. The reason of
confusion in nonexistence of any systematic approach that is no order is provided for the
seven perspectives which could be followed. The model works in favour of those who are
well in structuring their program in their own way and make it most effective (Wirtz et al.
2016). The model has not been used frequently but those who applied it in their own way, has
actually experienced fruitful results. This makes the model authentic and applicable to those
who carry a wide perspective and a planned approach to change. The change of management
is a wide and broad prospectus and this needs to be assessed through various models and
theories.
