Document Summary
Organizations must change because of external sources and internal sources. Organizations are open systems that take inputs from the environment, transform some of these inputs, and send them back into the environment. External factors such as the music industry (turntables, cassettes, cd, downloads) or competition. Internal factors such as low productivity, conflict, strikes can all signal that change is necessary: goals and strategies- organizations frequently change their goals and the strategies used to achieve these goals. Expansions, the introduction of new products, and the pursuit of new markets can represent this change: technology- technological changes can vary from minor to major. Job design- companies can redesign individual groups of jobs to offer more. 3. or less variety, autonomy, identity, and feedback: structure- organizations can be modified from a functional to a product or vice versa. Training programs, hiring procedures: refreezing- exists when newly developed behaviors attitudes, or structures become an enduring part of the organization.
