Drivers for change in an organisation and the types of organisational change they have affected.
There are two types of changes and they are internal and external which directly impacts
on the working style of a company. Talking about internal changes, it is related with rules and
regulation of different laws such as contract law, employment law, working behaviour and many
more. External factors related with change in rate such as inflation rate, interest rate, fluctuation
in currency and many more.
Types of organisational changes
Transformational change: It is one of the changes which helps business organisation to
adopt the changes in best possible manner through which company can take different types of
benefits. In case of JD Sports, company can easily remove the additional number of employees
which will give them the support to invest the capital in different areas (Ferkins, Erakovic and
McMorland, 2015).
Remedial change: It is the change which is required within the business organisation
when there employees are unable to perform better for achieving the goals of an organisation. In
context of JD Sports, they have the option to conduct different types of training session for
employees so that perform their task as per the requirement of company.
LO2
Ways in which internal and external drivers of change affect leadership, team and individual
behaviours within an organisation
In any of the business organisation, leaders helps to work in systematic manner because
they are one who guides that how any of the company is required to work work while adopting
any of the internal and external changes. There are number of internal as well as external drivers
which can directly influence the team as well as leaders. Below some of the internal and external
drivers has been discussed.

Theories and models to evaluate organisational response to change
For the purpose of understanding and responding to the changes in an organisation, it will
be important for company to use system theory. It is one of the theory which will help company
like JD Sports because it will directly help to reduce the negative effect of changes which has
been adopted by the company. It will also help organisation to sort out any of the issues which
are being faced by employees during the course of performing business operations. According to
this theory, it is necessary for JD sports to depend upon number of government rules as well as
policies which has been formulated by the company(Raziq and Maulabakhsh, 2015). Even it will
11

help sort out any of the issues as well as grievances of employees which they might face on
regular basis. Also, there are some of the negative impact of this theory because it focuses on
those sections of a company which help to stabilise the system and other will be ignored.
Conclusions and recommendations with valid justifications for planning effectively for change
and applying change impact analysis
From the above discussion, it can be be easily understood that business organisation are
always affected just because of internal and external factor and it is necessary that decision
should be taken by considering each of the factor. In context of JD Sports, internal drive can help
company by managing the resources, capital and many which can directly enhance the revenue of
a company. Even external factors like economical, political, technological can help company to
determine the changes which are being made outside the company due to which company can
easily compete within the market. Some of the recommendations are given below for the future
benefit of a company.
 It is necessary for organisation to discuss with different level of employees while
adopting any of the changes because it will help them to work easily as per the
requirement of a company (Saleem, 2015).
 It is necessary for the manager of JD Sports that he must able to detect that what are the
changes which company can see after implementing the changes because it will help to
accomplish the goals of an organisation.
LO 3
Different barriers for change and how they influence leadership decision-making
As from the preceding discussion it has been seen that changes within organisation is
essential in order to operate all the business activities as per the current market. But while
espousing changes in the business functions various barriers have to face by the organisation
which lead negative impact on the performance and leadership decision-making which can be
determined by below give points:
Lack of employees involvement: It is most basic issue that have to face by an
organisation at time of implementing changes. This is happen because employees always have
fear of doing more efforts and giving more time in understanding new ways of working. In order
to cope up with this issue leader of JD sports requires to formulate effective decisions related to
12

increase the involvement of employees by welcoming their opinion sin decision-making process
so that the motivation and interest of them can be maintained in achieving the organisational
goals and objectives (HLatham, 2013).
Improper communication: It is refers to the lack of free communication channels with
the organisation. In order to remain employees focused towards the changes leaders of JD sports
must considering effective communication medium so that free flow of ideas and thoughts can be
maintained.
Organisational complexity: It refers to that when an organisation design and develop a
complex process related to planning as well as implementing changes. It is required to overcome
from this barrier JD sports introducing a keen and skilful techniques to handle the organisational
complexity and fast growth.
Unknown current state: Changes are difficult for a business organisation as it lacks the
idea of their current state. In order to tackle that barrier JD sports required to introduce alterations
without conducting assessment as well as understanding the existing blueprint of a firm.
As each and every customer have different choice, need and perception which makes
essential for management of JD sports to adopt required changes in their organisation so that they
can meet up with every customer demand effectively. For this, they needs to stay focused towards
bring changes in existing products and introducing new products in marketplace as it will enables
them in attracting various customers in their products and services. Along with this, it is essential
for the business organisation to evaluate the factors which have impact on change process so that
they can conduct all the operations appropriately (Wellman, Jeffries and Hagan, 2016). For this
they can use Force filed analysis model which is define below.
Force field analysis to analyse the driving and resisting forces and how they influence decision-
making
Forcefield analysis: It facilitates the structure for analysing the forces that determine a
situation or condition. This theory is in used when a problem is aids in equilibrium through
fundamental interaction between two anti sets of factors those effort to driving as well as
restraining forces. Driving change refers to promote changes whereas restraining forces used to
holding the position.
13

This model is very helpful for JD sports as it will help them in ascertaining the helping
factors and hindering factors of changes. The detailed exposure of this model is given beneath:
Forces against changes:-
 Increasing cost:- Adoption of changes within the organisation like innovative
technology, digitalisation methods, web conferencing etc. will increase the overall cost of
the business as because of their installation charges and conducting training and
development programs for the employees.
 More labour turnover and absenteeism:- The consideration of changes in the business
also results in losing employees interest and motivation as they have to give their more
time and efforts on it (Espedal, 2017). Due to this, higher increment in employees
turnover and absenteeism issue have to face by the organisation which direct lead
negative impact on the organisational position and success.
Forces in favour of changes:-
 Customers want new product:- As JD sports dealing in high quality products due to
their customers are always seeking to take advantage of their new development which
helps them in attaining higher profitability and recognition in the marketplace. Governmental support:- Due to higher social activities JD sports organisation is always
able to gain government support in developing new product in the marketplace or
14

adopting changes in organisation. For example, government provide them tax relief for
launching new product in the marketplace successfully without any crisis.
Advantage and Disadvantages of force field Analysis.
Advantages
 It will help organisation in enhancing the communication process within the JD Sports
which will be beneficial. The main advantage of force field analysis is that it helps to provide visual summary all
the factors through which decision making process becomes much and more easy.
Disadvantage
 It is crucial that everyone should show their participation if any of the decisions are
needed to be taken else it would not be so effective.
 Force field analysis may cause a division in the group between those who support the
change and those who are against the modification.
Evaluation of use of force field analysis in the context of meeting organisational objectives
In current scenario, forcefield analysis is one on the techniques that can be adopted by the
company because it can be one of the option which can help business organisation as well as
employees to achieve their goals within the specific time period. Also, it is they type of technique
which can be easily adopted by the business organisation. While talking about JD Sports,
Forcefield analysis can help them to deal with any of the situation which arises in front of them in
best possible manner because it has the potential impact to reduce the complexity of a situation.
Approaches to Managing Resistance to Change

LO 4
Leadership approaches to deal with change
In any of the firm, Leaders have the crucial role in attaining the goals of an organisation
because they helps to motivate each and employees in best possible manner. Leadership is also
necessary because it helps company to perform better at the time of implementing the changes
within the company. In context of JD Sports, it will be important for them to adopt suitable form
of leadership style which can help to motivate employees through which they can easily adopt the
17

changes for achieving the goals of an organisation. Below, there is the discussion about some of
the leadership styles which can be implemented by the leaders of a company.
Democratic Leadership: It is one of the type of leadership style which helps business
organisation in enhancing the productivity of a employees. Here, subordinate are also involved at
the time of taking any of the business decision (What Is Democratic Leadership, 2019). The best
part of this leadership style is that it allows to improve the communication system of a company.
In context of JD Sports, it will help to develop the relationship between employees and the
management of a company. It will also support to implement the changes which are required for
the purpose of obtaining better results in the company. Also, company can be able to retain their
employees for longer period of time.
Situational Leadership: It is the types of leadership style which is commonly used by
number of leaders because it allow to deal with different challenges which occurs within the
company. Leader have the option to use different theories and approaches of leadership which
can be helpful at the time of taking any of the business decision. In context of JD Sports, it is the
leadership style which can help leader to find that actual way through which they can easily
employment the changes which are required for the future growth (Zand, 2015). Also, it will
allow the leader to take decision as per the requirement of situation.
Autocratic leadership: It is the opposite of democratic leadership in which leader make
decisions without the involvement of others who reports to them. In the context of JD sports, this
kind of leadership style can applied to make effective decisions and provides guidance to their
followers.
OHIO state leadership: It is a behavioural theory of leadership in order to analyse the
observable behaviour of leaders rather then considering traits of them. There are two types of
behaviour as one is initiating structure behaviour in which shows leader subordinate role, formal
lines of communication etc. second is consideration behaviour in which leaders are concerned for
subordinates and create a warm, friendly as well as supportive environment.
Transactional leadership: It is related to the fairly reward their employees for their work
performance which they perform. In the context of JD sports, transactional leadership helps in
separating roles and responsibilities of each employees.
18

Transformational leadership: It is always transforming as well as improving upon the
company's conventions. This is highly encouraged style of leadership among growth minded
companies like JD sports as it motivates employees to see the capability of themselves.
Laissez Faire: It means “let them do” in which leader embrace it afford all authority to
their workers. Laissez faire leadership can empower followers by trusting them to perform work
however they'd like, it can restrict the development and critical growth options of JD Sports.
Among above mentioned leadership style, it will be important for the company like JD
sports to use situational leadership style because it will give them the idea that how they are
needed to deal with the situation which arises in front of them. Also, helps a team members or
followers be able to perform better with each other. Whereas it emphasised on immediate needs
instead of long term as it lack in their effectiveness as well as it is not suitable for task oriented
environment of a company.
Extent to which leadership approaches can deliver organisational change effectively
It is important for organisation to evaluate the leadership because it will help them to find
that what types of leadership approach can be beneficial in context of business organisation. For
the purpose of evaluating leadership approaches, JD Sports have the option to use change
management model of Lewin's which will allow implement the changes within the workplace.
Below, there is detail description about the model of change management.
Lewin's Change Management Model: It is one of the model which is used by the
company for the purpose of implementing the changes within the company. It the model which
has been explained into three category i.e., Unfreeze, Change, Freeze. It has been explained
below in detail. Unfreeze: It is the stage where leader of the company has the responsibility to motivate
their employees by making them understand that adopting the changes within the
workplace will improve the result of a company (Albrecht and et. al., 2015). Here, leaders
of JD Sports are using Democratic leadership approach for the purpose of adopting the
changes.
 Change: It is second stage where company adopt the changes in the company and in this
situation, it is necessary for business organisation that they must use situational leadership
style so that if any of the employees having the problem with changes can be sorted out
