Changes in the Tesco have two perspectives as it can affect the performance of the
business entity in different ways (Bridges & Bridges, 2017). The business performance has
affected both in positive or negative ways depending upon the situations. The changes are
regarded as the integral aspects of organizations are which the whole business enterprise gets
changed according to the turbulence created in its external environment. The thinking of an
individual related to the changed will not gets changed. The changes in the organizations will
disturb the normal functioning of an entity who are used to their traditional working practices.
The comfortable working situations changes will results into resistance among different
individuals. The changes created in an entity related to the mode of operation will affect an
individual’s life. The lack of comfort at the workplace will induces the level of resistance when
computers are given more preferences in automating the functions of an enterprise.
The change is resisted in different manner according to the convenience of an individual
as they will resist with the new changes. There are various ways in which the resistance will be
created by all the employees working in the same industry is given as below:
Relocation- the changes created in an enterprise related to the merger or acquisition of the
current enterprise with other business (Emerson, Scott & Haddy, 2016). The employees who are
comfortable in the current organization will not fund the same working place at another place.
The fears of relocation will increases resistance among employees. At the same time this
resistance may prove beneficial for an entity as in that case an entity will find new and creative
ways in order to hold their employees. The resistance will further results into the positive
outcomes through which an enterprise will find new and innovative ways to please their
employees.
Working dynamics- It is regarded as one of the important approach in which the current politics
within the enterprise from the side of top management will not be tolerable by an employee in
another place. The increasing size of the employees will result into different rules and
regulations and further dynamics created among the employees. The internal race among all the
employees in beating each other to gain competitive advantage will get increases in the new firm
which is exposed to the higher level.
