Organizational Change and Development

Organizational change is an important issue in organizations. It is actually a
process in which an organization optimizes performance as it works toward its
ideal state. Organizational change occurs as a reaction to an ever-changing
environment, a response to a current crisis situation, or is triggered by a leader.
Successful organizational change is not merely a process of adjustment, but also
requires sufficient managing capabilities. However, there are many topics to be
considered to achieve successful change. Hence, this paper discusses the causes of
organizational change, its elements, approaches, process, resistance, management,
and finally the possible factors leading to its breakdown.
