INTRODUCTION
In this competitive era, new business and changing trends are affecting the business at
broader level. This is the reason why every enterprise is changing their structure and management
of business. Change is important for organisation to counter with uncertainty of market is
appropriate manner. Jessop Group Limited and Enterprise both the firm are headquartered in UK.
JGL is UK’s premier and most rated photographic company all around the country. Enterprise rent
is also the well-known brand which provides leasing cars to the public at affordable rate. It is
moistly known for its time to time changeable structure according to the needs and demands of
people. This report includes comparison of organisational examples, external drivers of change

TASK 1
P1 By using organisational examples compares them where there has been impact of change on
enterprise strategy and operation
Market is dynamic and uncertain because of which organisation uses strategies and tactics. It
is responsibility of manger of the company to make ensures that changes are adopted and in proper
manner. Both the firm JGL & Enterprise rent are affected by change at broader as well as wider
level. For example- in relation with Jessop Group Limited, it deal with photography and
equipment’s products and was established in 1935. Traditionally real films were used and purchased
by people but with changing time period and technology those were abandoned by market. Whereas
in relevance with Enterprise holdings, they are most favourable industry which is widely chosen by
customers (Palmskog, 2020). This is because of their awareness about the market and their product.
To further consider the consequences of change Bohner & Arnold Change impact has been
discussed below-
The Bohner and Arnold Change Impact Analysis- This is tool used and adopted by
most of the firm to determine and evaluate the consequences as well as impact of change on their
strategy & operations (Angerer, 2019), This framework is time consuming but produce effective
results when impact of change has to be identified. It is quantitative research method and
requires skills as well as knowledge to implement in appropriate manner. This has three stages
which are mentioned below-
Traceability- This is first aspect of Bohner and Arnold Change Impact Analysis which
states that it is essential to trace and monitor the specifications as well as requirements of change

which are needed for further process. Therefore, traceable assist entity to be more shortlist the
areas, spots and people who will be affected by change. In relevance with JGL, government rules
and regulations of UK was affecting the business at wider scale because of which they respond in
effective way by providing to national funds which increases their goodwill.
Whereas comparing it with Enterprise holdings, they are well aware about their changes
and improvements areas and this makes them different from their rivals.
Dependency- Further comes the dependency in which firm need to analyse and examine
what and who are dependent on each other. In relation with JGL they were dependent on digital
technology & impact analysis changes their business structure. Whereas Enterprise holdings
were dependent upon customer and their goodwill which has impact on their operation of
business & increases their sales revenue (Bratton, 2020).
Experiential- In this IA (Impact Analysis) mostly related with experts and superiors
experience. So, Jessop Group Limited, Jessop experience with change and business has deep
impact on leadership style. Because drastically changed photography industry scattered the team
and management. Whereas Enterprise holdings, Taylor experience from Jessop was different
because Taylor focused on changing demand of market which makes him more risk taker in
business. Hence, impact of expert experience also matters when it comes to facing the
consequences of change (Sun, 2019).
JGL undergo with emergent change as it changes their way of doing business and they
started selling cameras as well as hired some local photographers to enhance their productivity of
firm. Whereas, Enterprise-rent-car adapted planned change because of which they were able to
cope up with market trends.
After brief analysis of above matter it is stated that impact analysis of change in business is
important and play vital role in entity. With use of tool, organisations can track and face the
consequences of change in management & business in proper manner. So, Bohener and Arnold
Change Impact Analysis have been used appropriately by chosen entities.
