Types of changes
Change as incremental & intrinsic to
organization
Change as extrinsic & revolutionary
Change as patterned & predictable
Dr.Renu IMT CDL
Newman change
Tushman calls minor incremental organizational
change as Convergence.
Goss – reinvention
Tushman – strategic change
Two types – Reactive , anticipatory
All changes are continuous, discontinuous,
participative and directive.

Perspectives on OC
1. Contingency perspective
2 Major dimensions :
Specialization, integration
Specialization refer as DOL , ( horizontal or
vertical)
Dr.Renu IMT CDL
Integration : ways & means of coordinating work
of individuals in the organization.
Ways are direct supervision, systems, goals,
plans & targets , rules & procedures.
Relation b/w change & environment
2. Components of environment – complexity &
stability
Dr.Renu IMT CDL
Studies found organization as Mechanistic
organization.( rules procedure & clear
hierarchy of authority , decision making
centralized )
Configurational approach - consider two
variables at a time such as environment, size
and structure
Dr.Renu IMT CDL
Population ecology perspective
Leaders might not possess adequate information
about the environment.
Assets of the organization might be suited to the
current organizational needs.
Political resistance to change
Firm may have financial & legal compulsions
which may come in the way of its entry or exit
from present markets.
Dr.Renu IMT CDL
Institutional perspective
• Refers to social norms, values & culture
• More importance to organization environment
than market or competitors.
Called symbolic elements.
( conform to lawful norms, standards )

Managing Organisation Change
• Kurt Lewin: Two Theories
– Status QUO/ Equilibrium Point – Resultant of opposing
forces
– Three step model:
Unfreezing (The status Quo)
Movement (To new status/ Changing)
Refreezing (The new change)

Unfreezing Movement Refreezing
Planning Model
Initially proposed by Lippit et. al. (1958), the planning model
was later refined after modifications by Kolb and Frohman
(1970). This model has often been employed in bringing about
planned change in organizations. The planning model proposes
seven-steps for change. That is, there should be free and open
sharing of information between the organization and the
change agent and this information must be such which can be
translated into action.
In this model planned change goes through a series of steps. As
the first step organization and change agents jointly explore the
need for and the areas that require change. Thereafter, they
develop mutual expectations. This is followed by identification
of specific goals toward improvement. As change cannot
proceed effectively without handling resistance, identification of
the actual and possible reasons of resistance to change are
worked out and planning is done for specific improvement
goals. Dr.Renu IMT CDL

Implementation of steps identified in planning is the next
stage followed by decision – making for termination of the
system or to begin another.
Model of the Change Management Process
Galpin (1996) proposed the model of the change
management process which provides guidance for
successfully implementing change. In his view a successful
organizational change effort must target two levels-the
strategic level and the grassroots level.
Strategic change refers to the up-front, initial effort involving
executives, senior managers, a small cadre of employees and
often consultants, who provide an outside view (Gaplin,
1996). This kind of change is broad and organization wide
and involves two primary goals – a technical or analytical
goal (involving generation of recommendations for change)
and a “soft side” goal (involving creation of momentum for
change). Dr.Renu IMT CDL
Grassroots change is the effort that drives change deep into
an organization by stressing implementation at the local level.
The primary goal here is to implement and sustain desired
changes.
Change does not occur in one leap but often entails several
key stages along the way. The nine stages require
management within an organization to understand and apply
the characteristics of both strategic and grassroots changes.
The early stages require greater application of the changes
characterised by strategic nature. During the early stages,
senior management establishes a need and develops a vision
for change and a select few analyse the current organization,
formulate recommendations, and detail them for testing. The
later stages call for a greater application of characteristics of
grassroots change.
Dr.Renu IMT CDL
More people horizontally and vertically across the
organization are involved during pilot testing and roll out, as
middle managers and supervisors are needed continually to
measure and reinforce the changes being tested and rolled
out in order to ensure successful implementation.
Dr.Renu IMT CDL
Integrative Model for Planned Change
Bullock and Batten (1985) gave forward the integrative model
to describe both the temporal states and the change
processes involved in planned change. The integrative model
for planned change is based on the principle that
organizations exist in different states at different times. In
view of this, planned change can take place from one state to
another. There are four phases in this model ranging from
exploration phase to integration.
Exploration Phase
In this phase, the organization explores whether it is
prepared for specific change and whether it can commit its
resources toward such change. This change process is often
initiated by organizational members who are aware of the
need for change.
Dr.Renu IMT CDL
Hereby a search process begins wherein organization
development resources and assistance are sought followed
by consultation of an organization development expert. The
change requirements are then assessed mutually by the
consultant and the organizational members. The members
make an assessment about the expert’s capabilities and the
consultant assesses the organization’s sense of commitment
and readiness for change, and the availability of necessary
resources. During this phase both sides settle the terms of
the work and clarify mutual expectations, cost and time
factors and the rules of the consulting relationship so as to
develop a collaborative relationship.
