Introduction
Organizational change is inevitable. Just like anything in life, markets change and cultures change which require constant attention and preparation. In order to be successful in any market, organizations have to be able to successfully move along with any transformation from the norm. "In most industries ? and in almost all companies, from giants on down ? heightened global competition has concentrated management's collective mind on something that, in the past, it happily avoided: change" (Jones, Et. Al., 2007). CrysTel is no stranger to change. CrysTel is a telecommunication company with over 2500 employees and gross about $200 million a year. Their products include data cables, wireless solutions, and network development. They have much competition and have realized the necessity for change. Change is never an easy task, especially within organizations because so many people are affected. There are many factors that can interfere with the success of the change and managers have to be prepared to deal with anything that comes their way.
Resistance to change is expected. When organizations implement changes, employees are not always willing to accept the change. They will resist out of confusion, fear, comfort. Organizations have to be prepared to meet this challenge head on because the inability to change in a market that is constantly changing will endanger the progress of an organization. The organization will become stagnant and their power and revenue will decline. Change is natural and can be brought on my both internal and external forces. CrysTel faced both and had to develop plans that would assist in those changes.
