INTRODUCTION
Change management refers to the approach into systematic terms for dealing with the
transition or transformation of an organisation's process, goals and technologies. The main
purpose of change management is to to implement strategies for effecting change, helping people
and controlling change to adapt to change. In the present report, Sainsbury's is taken into
consideration. Sainsbury's is majorly driven through the passion for food and also serve by every
kind of customer(Alqatawenah., 2018). It is the second largest chain of supermarkets in the
United Kingdom and it was founded in the year of 1869 by John James. The present report will
cover discussion about the ways in which change impacts the strategy and operations of the
organisation and also about the influences which divers of change have on the behaviour of
organisation. In addition to this, the report will cover analysis about barriers to change which
influences leadership decision making. Moreover the report will cover discussion about different
barriers for change and in which manner it influences the leadership decision making. The report
also consist of different leadership approaches in order to deal with change in context to the
organisation.
MAIN BODY
P1 Compare dissimilar examples of organisation where it has impact on the change on the
strategy and operations of organisation
At the organisational level, there are different kinds of examples of an organisation where
it has impact on the change on operations and strategy of an organisation which has been defined
into the following manner:
When Sainsburry's organisation has shifted themselves on the online basis then there are
lots of changes which an organisation has to face in terms of their working procedure and
execution level as well. These changes can also be in terms of improvement into the process and
routines of an organisation and also restructures the hierarchy at the operational level. Within
this digitally competitive world, it is very important to prepare themselves at the advance level
from the perspective of market(Cameron and Green., 2019). In order to compare different
business organisation, there is a comparison between Sainsbury's and Amazon that are basically
the e-commerce companies which has been defined into the following manner:

Basis Amazon Sainsbury's
Structure Amazon company basically
follows the structure into
appropriate terms that can be
in the form of hierarchical
manner because of presence of
large number of employees at
the organisational level. The
hierarchical structure basically
divided into three categories or
layers which include lower,
middle and upper level of
management(Clepper., 2018).
Within the process of decision-
making, it is a kind of
approach which lead towards
the gap in the structure of
organisation. Amazon
organisation main goal is to
facilitate the decision making
with support of business
structure of flexible nature.
Sainsbury's is an organisation
that uses the matrix structure
in order to run their business
into successful terms. Matrix
structure is basically flexible in
terms of nature and allows the
organisation to adopt different
kinds of situations. For
instance, if employees want a
pay rise or can be adapted in
the matters of price. So this is
the structure which has been
followed by the Sainsbury's
organisation.
Strategies It is essential for the Amazon
organisation to prepare an
appropriate strategy for the
business in order to develop
the change management at the
organisational level. The
organisation is majorly
The main strategy used by
Sainsbury' s organisation is
that their main focus is
towards the quality,
provenance and sustainability
which set apart them from
other supermarkets. They also
