Comparison of impacts of organizational changes in two different organization
Change can be said as the activity which pulls out an organization from their comfort
zone. Changes in an organization can be positive or negative and also takes a certain amount of
time for adjustments (Nayeemunnisa and Gomathi, 2020) The different types of organizational
changes are as follows,
Structural change :

These changes are people-centric, and these changes affect all the employees in an
organization. It can be also said as the shift in management, team and departments according to
employees and team (Ericsson,2020).
Strategic changes :
This is the change in organizational strategy. A change in the management style of a
company can be said as a strategic change. These kinds of changes usually are seen having rapid
effect on the organization.
People change :
Change of personnel is issue related to behaviour or performance. These changes are
some time involuntary if the employees resign themselves (Göksoy, 2017).
Planned Changes :
Such changes are implemented for improving the ways of operations for achieving pre-
determined goals. Such type of changes are calculated prior to implementation and thus is not as
threatening as other types of changes.

customers and the company. Sainsbury which is the other chosen organization for the
comparison has brought the change of cutting jobs. This change is about cutting the jobs of the
designation of Price Controller in the company. This company believes that other employees will
be able to undertake that responsibility (Ericsson, 2020).
Organizational structure of a company is the outline of activities which are directed
towards a certain goal of the organization (Tony, 2017). The driver of change for this innovation
in Tesco plc is the internal driver of change as the business want to generate more customers for
increasing its revenue. This organization change type is the strategic change type. Tesco plc has
got some affects of this change on its organizational structure as the company was forced to
make a team which dealt with the production, promotion and activities related to the Club card
facility given to the customers. The change Sainsbury has planned is a structural change which
directly affects the organizational structure of the company (Phdeassy, 2021). The effects on
technology due to the following changes are, Tesco introduction of Club card required IT team
of the company to make changes in its online websites and promotional page regarding the Club
