implemented on change management this organization included their product different feature
with innovation (Heifetz and Linsky, 2017). This firm add styles, services, feature and most
important quality of its car. The overall auto mobile business can be organized in geographic as
well as product segment, but its competitive forces are very high in others company. This
industry main motive to increase their share and providing the latest car model to their target
customer. This company can do better branding and improve margin and generate market share
for itself. Some time this firm also face some problem in their technological change, prices very
high so some customer all not easily ready to buy car. Toyota and BMW both are followed
change management for earning more profit and improve their skills.
P2) Evaluate the influence that drivers of change have on organisation behaviours
Toyota business environment is depended on all factors which influences working and
making decision of their organisation welfare. The internal factor this company are control those
situations or event that is occurred inside the work places and generally comes in under control.
The main internal this industry driving forces are given below.
Organisational cultural- it is related with behaviour and attitude of individual and group with
in Toyota organisation. This company has powerful success spirit and always change in their
management and listen their employees. To create healthy environment on their workplace,
organisation culture is very important part of this firm. The main motive to this firms increasing
their production, to fight with competitive business globally, increasing their turnover,
coordination with their staff, worker.
Financial management- it is the main part of Toyota organisation or every company. Without
capital no any firm start their own business. So similarly this industry make better decision about
their fund distribution like proper uses of resources, raw materials, new assest, optimum fund
distribution. These are the main reasons in financial management has powerful stand in internal
driving forces. Its direct relationship between business and money. This term help to increasing
their business profitability ratio and help to expand their business enterprise.
Technological capacity- Toyota also focus on this term it is also very important for boost their
business it help to new change in their technological business. This company increasing their
production level through technological changes. The firm is not running without modern
2

technology , so it is very curial. They can competent easily with other and developing their work
day by day. This corporation community has to keep itself informed with the technological
changes and also giving the shapes of their enterprise operations.
External driving forces are those which is occurred from outside the organisation and
now these are the Toyota company external driving forces given below.
Political influences- it is related government changes in their policies, rules, and higher
authority decision, so Toyota are directly bearing these function like change in their tax, stability
in market, all these change in highly effected this industry in positively way or negatively
affected their business environment. Some time government change their decision like
increasing tax rate so company bear these situations.
Economy- it is depended on Toyota business performance or nay types of financial fluctuation
like inflation or deflation in market. Some increasing their market share or some time decrease so
that time change in their working performance it is intimate relationship between the business
enterprise and economic environment.
New competitor- Toyota faces this challenge this competition of other company, new
competitors come in market with innovation and providing customer satisfaction their goods and
services with reasonable prices. But this company cannot competitive with them as well because
machines, technologies and all other factors are old, and they can't change so they face some
challenge like low cost and reducing the demand of customer. So these are the thing face this
corporation.
These are the drivers of change have on organisational affect their behaviour in
leadership, individuals and team members. This thing change in employees behave in
organisation like help in increasing their work efficiency and help to increasing business
productivity. External and internal factor are very important for growth and development of
every corporation this aspect help to change in management of the enterprise. These factors are
related with events or situations that go on the way business operation, either in a positive or
negative but these are influence in working and help to making effective decision.
P3: Evaluate the negative impacts change on organisational behaviour
The negative impact of organisation changes is prices of product are rising, financial
management is not proper, conflicts are arises between employer and employees, change is an
3

unavoidable part of businesses. Some time it is not easy process to deal with other some worker
are not satisfied with own jobs, so organisation responsible for solving their problem and
maintain health environment in workplaces (Walumbwa, Hartnell and Misati, 2017). There are
several reasons of Toyota organisational changes including merger or acquisition,
accommodative growth, financial problems, expanding market. Some employees often resist
change for the simple reason that is change disrupts their habits means they are not discus their
problem with their team leader so they feel not comfortable, such that thing create problems like
not updating to a newer version of specific softer ware or not proper change in their voice mail
system. Some time peoples leave their job the reason is behind that they people stress so
manager help to reduce their work level, they disturbed work in proper way.
This organisation also focus on their staff they are ready to risk or not, they manage their
work or not, they are feel better in their workplace or not. Toyota change in employees work,
organisation decide to change in their job duties because it is necessary to do this, worker don't
feel workload. They easily interconnect with all and complete their work on time. Personal
impact is also negative, it would be too simple to argue that employees resist all change,
regardless of its form. In fact, staff tend to be more welcoming of change that is favourable to
them on their individual level but it is not good. Toyota also show that it is not commitment to
change is highest when change affect the work unit with low impact on how personnel work are
performed. This company makes effective decision like how to guide every employee and how
to motivated (Hill and Bartol, 2016). Some changes' come in increasing their cost prices are high
consumer are not buying this company product so firm focus on selling their product or service
in reasonable rate.
It is important for whole industry not only personal level. Toyota aims to remove all
those negative point which create problem and they focus on their work. The main motive of
this enterprise to earn more profit and generating their market share as well as providing
customer satisfaction (O’Toole Jr and Meier, 2014). Work with positive way with ignoring
negative impact and adopting new change in their work environment.

Task 2
P4: Explain different barriers for change and how they influence leadership decision-
making
Inappropriate planning- planning is the process of thinking step by step and without
planing now any organisation changing in their management. It is important for future planing
but some time planing is not work according to plan, because future is uncertain so it creates
many time problems in workplace. For example Toyota company make effective a plan about
they want increase their sale within month so due some reason they do not generate their sale so
planing is barriers for change and they influence their leadership decision making. This industry
leader not making effective decision for regarding their sales.
Lack of budget- Toyota has no enough budget so they don't run their business long time,
they are not invested as comparing other companies. Organisation do not properly increasing
their productivity, or they do not produce number of product. Budget is very important for this
company without monetary fund they do not increasing their sales in market. Budget is the
source of long term
Lack of consensus- if Toyota company fail to get their board with the corporation changed, they
face barrier during this process. They change their decision on top management of this firm. All
the management staff need to be board and able to deal with changes. If worker are not update
regularly about their plan and progress toward the change implementation. All the staff member
involves in meeting and participating they discuss all this thing which a created some problems
and solve that particular issue with proper coordination's, it is help full during brainstorming
session and helpful for during the work.
Communication barriers- communication is very important aspect in business without this
process no any one sale their product and maintain their relationship. If Toyota company
employees not communicate with each other so how can solve their problems, so it very
necessary part of their business they talk to every one and discus with all those concepts which
is useful their organisation. Some time though this aspect create problem like top management
this industry are not listened their staff member so they people not complete their task on time so
it also no great barrier in their business.
5

This barrier are influence leadership decision-making, Toyota company leader work on
their communication, it is very important for sharing their views, it helps to solving their
problems. They people maintained their communication skill for earning more profit with their
customer as well as employees (Bolman and Deal, 2017). Lack of budget is also create problem
in decision making company manager do not take right step like how to increase their sales if
they proper capital they invest or produce variety of products.

approaches in leadership that is given below.
Functional or group approaches- Toyota company leaders focus on their work, responsibility,
accountability and focus on teamwork (Ezeh, 2017). This approach concentrate on what leaders
do in organisation and how to work in group. This corporation leader main motive to maintain
their relation ship with employee’s and understand to every one, solving all problems each
other. They focus on how to motivate with other team member with effective manner and they
try full their task on time.

individuals (Johnson, 2014). It helps in management to handle work and it is very necessary for

organisation cannot achieve their goal so it is crucial part of the corporates. These approaches
