In some cases the change experienced is initiated by someone for negative reasons, not to improve the effectiveness of an organisation but for reasons of personal politics, power, or to force individuals with whom they disagree to leave the organisation. Many people in thinking about, examining, discussing and experiencing change tend to assume that change happens. Those issues for me justify the importance of needing, initiating and managing change and bring one to the processes for dealing with those issues.
Ongoing change is, however an essential element of organisational survival and success.
Those organisations which do not change will eventually become irrelevant in the face of changing social forces. Because of organisational growth Most of the current medium and large organisations within the environment sector experienced their most rapid growth and change up to and in the early and mid-1980's, often experiencing annual growth rates or ten, twenty or thirty per cent. Few however managed or planned this growth. Because of external forces Social and business conditions have changed. Business and Government has internationalised.
