2ORGANIZATION BEHAVIOUR
Introduction
Bow Valley Energy is belonged to the Oil and Gas Service and is going to acquire the
competitor Elbow River Energy. However, the management of Bow Valley Energy is facing
serious problems regarding the organisational structure and a resistance for change from some
employees. In the organisational structure the decentralised structure will no longer be followed
and replaced with a centralised decision making on sales. Moreover, some of the employees are
not happy with this merger and they are taking industrial actions. It will challenge the
productivity of Bow Valley Energy and it has to be stopped.
Therefore, the current report is going to address a change management process with the
Kotter’s model of change and also introduces communication channels that will help the
organisation to meet the expectations of the employees properly. In addition to this, a leadership
model in terms of the transformational leadership style will also be incorporated into the
discussion.

Create a sense of urgency
The sense of urgency is the first step of Kotter’s model that is identified as the process of
need recognition (Radwan, 2020). In case of Bow Valley Energy, the organisational culture and
structure needs to be refurbished with a top-down decision making practice. Therefore, a meeting
has to be conducted with the employees to inform them about the change in organisation
structure and the purpose of the organisation to change it. The Bow Valley Energy management
feels that it is pertinent for the organisation to bring the sales department into the direct control
of the centre. It will provide enough exposure to the success of the organisation as the entire
operation will be based on the efficacy of the sales team.
