Some approaches to organizational change: India and abroad

Abstract

This article makes a general survey of strategies employed by some large corporations abroad to introduce change in their organisations, and develops some generalisations for introducing organisational change in India. Change will not come about only by issuing instructions; the emotional and relationship issues are the Key to a successful change. Consultants can only help the management to examine and effect changes which they feel are important. But the goals of a change programme would be hard to accomplish if the consultants were merely to study the problems and submit a report.
