Description

Organizations need to implement changes to their processes and operations from time to time depending upon the changing need and the change in technology. Some of the needs could have generated internally within the organizations. While some other needs for change might have occurred due to external stimulus such as market forces, economy, recession etc. There is an old saying ‘change is constant’. Organizations are no exception to this. The organization that does not change with the times may not be relevant to the current market requirements and trends. Since changes in the organizational processes are inevitable, the management of change assumes significance if the changes are to be incorporated within organizational processes with minimal damage to the overall operations of the company. If the management of change is not done efficiently, there could be disruption in the regular organizational processes causing the organization to loss of time, resources and money. It is also important for the organizations to extract consensus among key employees for the change process so that the employees willingly cooperate with they change process. This paper discusses the operations of Aylesford Newsprints, UK. The paper also discusses some the changes needed to be implemented by the company in order to survive the period of recession.
