Abstract
Change is a natural characteristic of organisations at the end of the twentieth century and in the upcoming ages. The dynamism of the environmental effects and the heterogeneity of the environment urge organisations to continuously adapt to these changes. It means that organisations and clusters which are more or less agglomeration of organizations should be open to external influences and those organisations responding faster are more viable. From the professional literature several change management methods and tools are known. However, few sources deal with clusters. A cluster is also a unique organizational structure: its specialty lies in the fact that even large clusters are built up from smaller organisations in an environment where flexibility, rapid economic decisions and high level buoyancy is needed. The question is whether the general change management methods and approaches can be interpreted regarding clusters.
Highlights
In today's unstable environment, when managers and professionals are looking for something constant and stable to grip, the most stable and most consistent stability they can find is the change itself
If the flexibility expected from the cluster disappears and the cluster cannot react fast and effectively for the changing environment, the decline procedure may start at the cluster
It is very important for the cluster management to know the toolkits of the change management and to apply them in the everyday work
