Therefore the objective of this paper is to find why does the failure almost occur in an organisation? Additionally, this papers objective is to provide discussion and find reply on the following questions:
1) Which specific aspects of change are currently impacting most on practicing managers?
2) How do they react to change?
3) How are they dealing with them?
4) And how successful are their attempts?
5) How do the problems identified and solutions described, relate to the theory and research on organizational change?
6) What kind of organizations are the most adopted to changes? The findings suggest that most companies’ operational strategies and structures reflect business realities based on previous researches. However, it is noted that leadership and management skills, such as visioning, prioritizing, planning, organising, providing feedback and financial incentives, rewarding success, are key factors in any successful change initiative.

With the rapid development of social, they are many increasing uncertainties in the business environment. Organization change aims to the development and improve of organizations, Although the change is not easy to go through, but you must be able to adopt to the new environment. Because a large business environment, organizations constantly face with structural changes, market challenges, and culture shock. When an organization 's development through different life cycles, just like people have to through the successful development of the life cycle. It is to important factor to including factors that are linked to external environmental changes and will improve the internal environment, managerial effectiveness.‘The most common known
The work of Kanter (1992) defined organizational change as the behavior of the organization to a certain degree or another. Organizational change has strategic and structural consequences within a given organization. This is because it involves the process of dismantling as well a restructuring of the various structures within a given organization. Several problems can arise due to organizational change (Czerniawska,2005).
There are many reasons that change can or must occur within and organization. The key will be in understanding the organization and the prospective change. According to Mangundjaya (2015) "there are many variables that can influence the success of organizational change, such as the content of the change, the process of the change, individual characteristics, leadership, external environment and organizational context" (p. 67). Organizational change has the potential to successfully align an organization with its goals or completely derail any future success and progress. It is important that the organization takes the proper steps to prepare for, implement, and evaluate change.
Reinforcement: Encourage staffs to take initiatives and make the required contributions. Apply inclusive workplace culture to empower staffs to lead and manage decision.
Organizational change encompasses many challenges to both the individual, and the organization. An organization is a living system, as Flower (2002) states “living systems cannot survive without change, challenge, variety, and surprise” (Flower, 2002, p. 16). An organization requires the ability to adapt in to survive as Darwin states in The Origin of Man, “It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change” (Read Me First, 2013, p. 1). It must adapt to the changing market, global economic pressures, stakeholder demands, and the diverse needs

Organizational change is an important issue in all organizations. The process in which an organization optimizes its performance working toward its new state of function is pivotal. Resistance is easily found in direct or indirect challenges to authority, lack of action, and even open hostility. (Scheid,
The final project is a written response to the application of the concepts learned in the course, relating to a theoretical developmental perception of a change management plan. Greater emphasis lies on the application of these presented ideas on a personal learning level. A selected organization that has gone, or is undergoing change was the focal point of this assignment. The documented research from this organization was outlined to structure the following format:
Week 3, the lecture on Managing Change describes organizational changes that occur when a company makes a shift from its current state to some preferred future state. Managing organizational change is the process of planning and implementing change in organizations in such a way as to decrease employee resistance and cost to the organization while concurrently expanding the effectiveness of the change effort. Today's business environment requires companies to undergo changes almost constantly if they are to remain competitive. Students of organizational change identify areas of change in order to analyze them. A manager trying to implement a change, no matter how small, should expect to encounter some resistance from within the organization.
The purpose of this paper is to discuss organizational change and the management of that change. I will talk about the different drivers of change, the factors a leader needs to weigh to implement change effectively, the various resistances a leader may encounter while trying to implement change, and how various leadership styles will effect the realization of change. I will also discuss the knowledge I have gained through the completion of this assignment and how I think it might affect the way I manage change in my workplace.
Introducing organisational change is often hard, the main reasons for that can be variation in perceptions of the employees, fear of disruption or failure and underlining the right approach to apply change. Then even if the change in a specific organisation is projected successfully there is still lot to be done to manage it in an appropriate way (Oakland, 2007).
The best way to summarize this book is to dissect it into three parts. In part one the book discusses the change problem and its solution. This part focuses on two main topics; 1) Transforming organizations and why firms fail and 2) successful change and the force that drives it. Part two discusses the eight stage process in transforming an organization. Finally, in part three the book discusses the implications for the twenty –first century. Identifying the change problem can be difficult but driving solution is even more challenging.
The course focuses on how leaders use and apply change theories to craft and execute strategic management decisions. The course introduces best practices for leading and implementing change that addresses: leader / follower relations, their effect on corporate culture, employee resistance to change, and methods to assure that change will be successful.
ERP, which is an abbreviation for Enterprise Resource Planning, is principally an integration of business management practices and modern technology. Information Technology (IT) integrates with the core business processes of a corporate house to streamline and accomplish specific business objectives. Consequently, ERP is an amalgamation of three most important components; Business Management Practices, Information Technology and Specific Business Objectives.
ERP stands for Enterprise Resource Planning. ERP is one complete system to rationalise processes and data across the whole organisation, so business decisions can be data driven. The perception of ERP is a joint database that supports numerous purposes used by different business elements which in practice this means that staffs in different departments for example, accounting and sales can
