Due to the change management plan, the Atlantis Global Corporation has
implemented some new type of leadership styles and organizational culture within their
organization. The change management is used in this organization because the Atlantis
Global Corporation was facing problem in the human capital management. By using this
change management, they were able to support and prepare the individuals, organizations and
teams to bring some change in the organization.
For implementing the change management plan, the Atlantis Global Corporation has
implemented some new leadership styles. Previously the Atlantis Global Corporation was
having the leadership style of the autocratic which was implemented by the Jaw Dawson who
is the CFO, CEO and the chairman of the organization. John does not take any ideas or any
type of suggestions from the employees which was the main reason behind the employee
dissatisfaction within the organization (Clarke, 2013). Due to the change management,
Shawn Williams has taken charge of the global human capital management at the AGC.
Shawn has implemented some new leadership styles which are democratic in nature. Shawn
has implemented the feedback system from the employees of the organization. He has also
implemented the leadership style of positive communication. This type of leadership style is
very much beneficial for all parties involved in this.
Due to the effectiveness of the change management, the organizational culture of the
Atlantis Global Corporation has been changed. The main changes in the AGC are the belief,
symbols, morals, traditions and the inner language (Alvesson & Sveningsson, 2015). For the

every top-level position of the organization is filled with some person who is capable of
utilize the human capital management style. This changes in the culture of the organization
will help the organization in their present issue of the employee retention, productivity and
communication.
2. Potential Internal and External threats of the AGC:
It is very much important for every organization to identify its potential internal and
external threats for the effectiveness of the business. Due to the business model of the
organization, the main internal threats which can be faced by the AGC is related with the
leadership styles, goals, policies and the mission statement of the organization (Onraet, Dhont
& Van Hiel, 2014). Apart from this the other internal threats which can be faced by the
Atlantis Global Corporation includes the structures, systems and the peoples.
When considering the external threats, the main threats which can be faced by the
organizations is the market competition, economy, social conditions and the most important
factor which is the customers. Though these factors are totally external, still this factors can
affect the organization heavily.
3. Detection technique of Potential Internal and External threats:
The Atlantis Global Corporation can easily identify both the internal and the external
threats by using the environmental scanning and by the implementation of the SWOT
analysis. The AGC will be able to detect the threats by the SWOT analysis because of this
breakdown different type of aspects of the organization (Bull et al., 2016). By use of SWOT
analysis the weaknesses, threats, opportunities and the strengths of the organization can be
analysed easily. Also, based on the analysis this technique can categorise the factors based on
the external and the internal factors. Thus from the analysis easily the internal and external

threats factors can be analysed. This SWOT analysis can help the AGC in their strategic
planning program.
With the SWOT analysis, environmental scanning is another factor for detecting the
external and internal threats (Du Toit 2016). Environmental scanning helps to analyse the
environmental factor properly. In the environmental scanning after detecting the threats, the
threats are acknowledged, and the solution is determined for minimizing the threats.
4. Methods that AGC can use to protect the organization from these
internal and external threats:
As discussed in the above section, the AGC can use the SWOT analysis method and
the environmental analysis method for protecting the organization from the external and
internal threats. As the threats of the organization can be analysed using the SWOT analysis,
this analysed data can be used to monitor the threats properly and can be prevented from
getting a big issue for the organization (Suh, 2014). On the other hand, the environmental
scanning allows the Atlantis Global Corporation to analyse, identify and provide solutions for
the detected threats for the organization. This environmental scanning is the process which
conducts a survey systematically and does the data interpretation to detect the external
opportunities and the threats. From the external factors, this methods can also find relevant
data from its market competitor which will help the AGC to gain a competitive advantage.
