TASK 1
P1 Different examples of organization where there is an impact of change in an organization
strategy and operations.
Every organization makes certain strategies to achieve their goals and if any change is
required in their marketing plan then organization implements those changes in their strategies as
well as their operations. When a change is implemented by management team there are not sure
that those changes will impact organization in a positive way or in a negative way. The
advantage of initiating changes for a company is that it helps company to perform more
effectively and efficiently, they can earn more profits by changing their strategies and can lead to
growth but at the same time it can have negative effect also like many employees may not accept
those changes and can create problems regarding all changes the organization is implementing,
new strategies can lead to failure also and company can face a huge loss. (van der Voet, Kuipers
and Groeneveld, 2015)
