ORGANIZATIONAL CHANGE & DEVELOPMENT 1
Value and Goal Subsystem
The organizational improvement and excellence is not given priority by the managers whereas,
MIS VP Ms. Wyatt is the only one seemed to be concerned. The institution is primitive and
thus, follows the traditional approach. New changes have negative critic in the organization and
naïve employees and managers are very much reluctant to stick to the conventional form. Clients
are not prepared for change as well as unprepared and unfamiliar with the system (Davis et al.
2014).
Technical Subsystem
MIS need new approach to organizational goals and values by adding new forms and limitations.
Structural Subsystem
Staffs, lower in the hierarchy were excluded from preparation and decision for MIS. Chain of
command is not effective; Ms. Wyatt was prohibited to bring changes to the system as well as
informing the president (Paja, Dalpiaz and Giorgini 2013).
Psychosocial Subsystem
Lack of will and motivation among the managers is hampering the production of the
organization. Keep the staffs away from decision-making, resulting into lack of commitment and
trust. The senior vice presidents of each department have been with the bank for many years and
thus, reflect a stable and conservative outlook. Senior males of the organization neglected,
opinion of a woman.
Managerial Subsystem

ORGANIZATIONAL CHANGE & DEVELOPMENT 2
Managers are not willing to bring the problem in the limelight; not they are assertive about
changing the system to fulfill organizational benefit (Dalpiaz, Giorgini and Mylopoulos 2013).
WHY
It has been understood in the report that 93 percent information was complex and irrelevant, 76
percent of the case imprints of the printouts were hard to interpret. Trust in MIS was a big
concern, as 87 percent of the employees do not trust and fully support MIS. Lack of conviction
from the managers end and tried to hide the situation from the senior by keeping them in the
shadow.
