How do organizations determine the need for organizational change? What process do they follow? Your response should be at least 200 words in length.
Answer
Various internal and external environmental factors drive the need for change. The organizations determine the need for change by identifying the gaps in performance. When performance deviates from established benchmarks, it is a sign that change is required. In addition, external environment i.e., introduction of new technology, changes in regulations and competition also creates the need for change.
Typically, change process involves making SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats) analysis. The weaknesses are always internal to the organization. For instance, declining sales, return on investment (ROI), increased employee turnover etc whereas threats come from external environment. For example, entry of competitors, availability of substitute products and acquisition of major supplier by competitor etc. Main objective of SWOT analysis is to match strengths (core competencies) with the opportunities and minimize the risk of threats by improving weaknesses.
Several diagnostic techniques are used to identify the need for change. These include questionnaire, BCG matrix, Anasoff matrix and porter’s five forces model. Implementing the change often involves making radical changes in business processes, strategy and / or acquiring an asset that enhance strategic capability and enables an organization to create a competitive advantage.
