Leadership and Management of Change in Organizations

This paper theoretically evaluated leadership and management of change in organizations, realizing that change management is a continuous method used in transitioning social, organizational, and psychological change of employees. The review focused on the change management processes that address leaders' and employees' attitudes and how change management is created, as a catalyst for possible changes in an organization. The purpose of change management is ultimately to make use of initiatives and ensure that every employee in an organization is willing and ready to switch over to an anticipated new role in the organization. This current study evaluated the relationship between evaluated management of change in organizational leadership, change, and organization, management of change, the importance of change management, and principles of change management, other areas visited are types of organizational change, popular models for managing change, overcoming resistance to change, challenges of change management, how change management are created viz-à-viz ideas, thoughts, feelings, plans, habits, commitment, lifestyle, and change. The review concluded that consistently and effectively navigating change requires strong leadership because, in the end, it is the employees who will execute the new strategy in their day-to-day work lives. Leaders must be able to inspire people through a strong vision, define the strategy, communicate effectively, support their employees, and maintain the energy and commitment to change through to completion. The study recommends amongst others that organizational leaders should not undermine the power of ideas in their move toward change management, and should not underestimate thoughts, feelings, plans, and habits as an essential component of the change management process.

ENCOURAGING ENTERPRISE MANAGERS TO MANAGE CHANGE AS A NECESSARY ELEMENT FOR THE SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT OF AN INDUSTRIAL ENTERPRISE

In today's world, where technologies are constantly developing and markets are changing rapidly, industrial enterprises must be ready for changes that are becoming increasingly important to achieve sustainable development. In this context, change management helps businesses adapt to change while maintaining efficiency and competitiveness. Faced with a growing number of challenges and problems, enterprises must implement change management, which is a necessary element of the sustainable development of industrial enterprises. Change management is a complex system of methods and tools that allows you to effectively implement changes in the work of an industrial enterprise, ensuring its sustainable development, which in turn ensures competitiveness on the market. This article will consider the influence of N-1 and N-2 level managers on the management of changes necessary for the sustainable development of an industrial enterprise. And the challenges and obstacles faced by modern industrial enterprises when implementing change management will also be considered. The results of this article should help industrial workers to better understand how important it is to implement change management to achieve sustainable development. The importance of change management in an industrial enterprise is that changes in the operation of an enterprise can occur with different intensity and frequency, and change management helps enterprises to be ready for these changes and to respond quickly to them. This enables the enterprise to maintain its competitiveness and achieve sustainable development in the long term.

Managing organizational change during a merger: The case of companies operating in the energy sector

Faced with changes in their environment, companies are obliged to constantly improve their competitiveness. This sometimes involves introducing organizational changes, which can take the form of mergers and acquisitions. However, many corporate mergers have failed, prompting researchers to investigate the causes. Researchers are increasingly focusing on the human factor as a determining factor in the success of these operations, and more specifically. Although, this research remains limited, on the importance of change management, which has a significant influence on the outcome of these operations, which are always in demand by companies. This research paper aims to identify the role of organizational change management in the success of mergers, using companies operating in the energy sector as a case study. We adopted an interpretivist stance based on an inductive qualitative approach, through semi-structured interviews. The content analysis revealed that organizational change is accompanied by resistance and integration difficulties. In this study, several factors promoting the change management are highlighted, which could be further enriched by analyzing change in other contexts.

THE CHALLENGES OF HOSPITAL REFORM IN MOROCCO

Morocco has experienced a steady stream of reforms, including considerable changes in the health sector. Hospitals have been notably reformed, given their importance and their stakes. As a result, several deep and costly reforms have promoted the modernization of their management and organization to maximize their efficiency. Thus, the hospital reform has improved hospital management by supporting hospital planning capacities and introducing new management tools and control of management processes. However, even when a new managerial impetus is presented in the hospital environment and modernization is established, hospitals still suffer from many dysfunctions. The provision of hospital care in Morocco is even described as inefficient for a certain period. Despite all the reforms, the persistence of several dysfunctions raises questions about the importance of change management based on the construction and development of knowledge among the actors involved in hospital structures. This article adopted a collection and analysis method of several reports of the most recent national institutions available in Morocco and a selection of international literature to clarify this question. Finally, given the complexity of hospitals, a practical knowledge management approach can support hospital actors in embracing change and fostering ideas and knowledge that lead to improved practices and learning organizations.

This paper summarizes the arguments and counterarguments within the scientific discussion on the issue of change management characteristics in organizations. The main purpose of the research is to find out and discuss the role of change management in organizations, the main change management models, the benefits of investing CRM in a banking system that will change the way of work. A systematization of literary sources on the issue of change management presents some models steps of change management in organization. It indicates the importance of change management in today’s fast-moving world. Investigation of the topic proves that change management may help organizations become more effective customer-oriented. Analysis in the paper is carried out in the following logical sequence: literature review shows some examples of international experience of the discussed topic; also, the experience of CRM investing is discussed in one of the Armenian banks. Methodological tools of the research methods were analysis and synthesis, surveys. The paper presents the results of an empirical study, which shows that there are some transactions for which people prefer going to the bank. Certain services tend to go online, for example, to request account information or transfer money between accounts. The trend is that customers are moving more and more to online platforms. It was due to the introduction of the latest IT technologies in the banking system; also, during Covid-19, people preferred to do transactions online. The results show that it is necessary to use CRM tools to manage customer relationships throughout a customer life cycle, including marketing, sales, digital marketing, and customer service interactions. We suggest using CRM tools in banks to identify customers’ needs as much as possible to build a stable and long-lasting bank-customer relationship. The results of the research can be helpful for banks to improve their experience, invest in CRM systems and do better change management.

Importance of Change Management in Digital Transformation Sustainability

Organizational changes triggered by digital transformation usually focus only on internal processes or yet baser on technology, leaving behind, or even totally ignoring the consequences of such changes on people. There is a lack of studies presenting the pathways for sustainable change management during digital transformation, especially those from traditional professions, less digitally mature businesses, and developing countries (Philip J., 2021). Digital Transformation plays an important role in improving the efficiency of company's operations which links to sustainability. The business transformation will be successful only when employees are wholeheartedly committed to the company's vision and not merely when the company successfully installs some of the new and emerging technologies and implements changes (Florek-Paszkowska, 2021). Yet, the ultimate studies show that digital transformation initiatives have still very high tendency to failure. Aiming to resolve this issue, this study conducted a systematic literature analysis to review articles that discuss current trends in the Change Management and Digital Transformation discipline.The study results propose a Change Management Framework composed of its three imperatives: Leadership, Communication and Inclusion, which on the other hand induce strong foundations of a sustainable and resilient digital transformation in organizations. This paper synthesizes the presented research field's importance and provides insights for practitioners how to have their digital transformation initiatives succeed and retain sustainable.Originality/value – The study analyzes the impact of change management to digital transformation sustainability through a holistic approach, conventionally not given enough attention even though it may be found in every single research as a critical factor to digital transformation success.

The Role of Changing Management in the Process Of Enhancing the strategic Marketing Planning in Jordanian Industry Sector (Model-Complement)

This study examines the role and importance of change management in enhancing and managing strategic marketing planning related to strategic problems characterized by depth and complications. This rather planning demands extensive and deep research concerns variables and capabilities of futuristic analysis of propositions and probabilities. Thus, planning designers are the critical suppliers to the organization. The importance of studying change management is stressed, as well as its role in enhancing the process of strategic planning which is essential for the organization in the future. This is the main subject of this study. A matrix including several variables has been set, being one of the tools of marketing strategic planning for the organization. These variables decide the extent of market attraction and its competitive position in different market situations. Additionally, another matrix was set up to determine the competitive capability of the organization. On this basis, the suitable investment strategy has been determined, according to each market situation, in relation to market attraction & the competitive capability of the organization. After finishing the marketing revision, evaluation of the organization's internal situation has been done as to the threats and opportunities in comparison to opportunities and threats in the external environment. Good management and investment in change management employed by food companies in the private Jordanian sector is still limited due to obstacles, limitations related to managers and leaderships as well as present technical, financial, and information capabilities.

Quantifying the Systems Engineering Need for Organizations

AbstractThis paper discusses the approaches to assess system complexity, and in turn the need for Systems Engineering (SE) implementation. The extent of SE implementation which is optimal for an organization is a function of multiple parameters. The effect of these parameters is discussed by taking few examples. The paper also proposes a methodology to measure the SE maturity of an organization which will help to monitor its progress in terms of direction and speed. The last section also discusses on the importance of change management in any such large scale process change and how to achieve it effectively. The authors believe that the availability of such comprehensive toolset for SE assessment will equally benefit the organizations which are yet to embark on the journey of systems engineering and the ones which are in the mid‐way and re‐evaluating their approach.

Change management in an academic library in the knowledge economy

In the knowledge economy, knowledge is channelled in new ways which brings about changes to the structure and function of an organisation. Organisations such as academic libraries often introduce innovations in delivery of information services to clients which entail the use of information and communication technology. Current growth in technological applications is enabling academic libraries to change the way they deliver services to clients. Technological applications continuously redefine how academic library collections are used. This article investigates how change in terms of technology is managed in a decentralised academic library in a higher education institution of South Africa. The study was placed within a qualitative research paradigm. A case study design presented the research providing the opportunity to analyse the perception and experience of participants and ensured that real life events were investigated. Semi-structured individual interviews were used to collect data. The most significant finding of this study is the emphasis on the importance of change management in academic libraries and the need for effective communication in order to achieve low resistance to change from academic library staff

A comparative thematic review of vocational leadership literature from the USA, Great Britain and Australia

Vocational education and its leadership is an important sphere of economic activity worldwide and is being impacted by several trends including: the increasing significance and centrality of skills development in today’s economies; economic trends associated with globalisation (internationalisation of education and emergence of global labour markets); and demographic trends resulting in ageing populations and workforces. Leadership in vocational education contexts is crucial to the economic success of this sector. The aim of this paper is to provide a comparative thematic review of the research and literature on leadership in vocational education between the USA, Great Britain and Australia posed by the research question, ‘What are the key leadership issues facing vocational education and training sectors in the USA, Great Britain and Australia?’ This study contributes to the research and literature by identifying key impact factors for vocational education leadership in these nations over the last 13 years. Results from the comparative review established the following three key issues: a concern over equity and diversity; the importance of change management; and leadership skills and their development. Although leadership competencies are the subject of some debate there appears to be a broad consensus that leaders are developed not only by formal courses, but more importantly by on-the-job experiential learning. The future development of leaders within vocational education is discussed in relation to the implications for policy and practice, and suggestions for future research are provided.

The Importance of Change Management in Reforming Customs

Customs organisations operate in a complex environment of constant change. They are required to respond to the promotion of economic development and to comply with regional, national and international obligations. To accommodate changes in these areas, it is important to determine ‘a certain management type’ to implement change processes. As well, it is critical to identify the most significant characteristics of change management theory. In defining change management, the three constituents identified by Nickols (2004) – the task of managing change, a body of knowledge, and an area of practical application – are regarded as being the most relevant to this particular investigation. Having addressed the first two of Nickols’ constituents in part one of this article, the last is now addressed and draws as well on Kanter’s (1999) approach. The Latvian Customs State Revenue Service (SRS) presents a striking example of a complex organisation where many factors are to be considered in order to effectively manage change.

Special Issue: Dedicated to INES 2005 and SISY 2005 Conferences

The current issue contains 12 papers presented at the <I>IEEE 9th International Conference on Intelligent Engineering Systems (INES 2005), Cruising on the Mediterranean Sea</I>, on September 16-19, 2005, and <I>3rd Serbian-Hungarian Joint Symposium on Intelligent Systems (SISY 2005), in Subotica, Serbia and Montenegro</I>, on August 31-September 1, 2005. The topics of the two conferences are very close to each other and regard Intelligent Systems both from practical and theoretical point of view. These successful conferences brought together active participants and joined researchers from several countries working on this very quickly developing, more and more important field. After a preliminary selection made by the section chairs and the International Program Committees, we have selected 12 papers to be published in extended form in the current Special Issue of the <I>Journal of Advanced Computational Intelligence and Intelligent Informatics</I>. We would like to express our thanks to our sponsors, the organizers and mainly to the participants, who made these scientific events possible. Also, we express our thanks to the Editors of the Journal of Advanced Computational Intelligence and Intelligent Informatics, for publishing this Special Issue. In the following we briefly describe each paper. A. Almeida, G. Marreiros present a model to support collaborative scheduling in complex dynamic manufacturing environments. This model considers the interaction between an Agent based Scheduling Module and a Group Decision Support Module. P. Baranyi, Z. Petres, P. L. Várkonyi, P. Korondi and Y. Yam study in their paper how the Tensor Product model transformation is capable of determining different types of convex hulls of the Linear Time Invariant models. The study is conducted through the example of the prototypical aeroelastic wing section. B. Bede, H. Nobuhara, J. Fodor and K. Hirota propose the study of the problem if usual sum and product can be substituted by max and product operations in defining approximation operators. In this sense max-product Shepard approximation operators are defined and studied. B. Benyó, P. Somogyi and B. Paláncz address the problem of classification of cerebral blood flow signals in order to identify the disorders of the cerebral circulation. The experimental results provided in the paper confirm the effectiveness of the proposed methods. J. Gáti and Gy. Kártyás propose a model based distance learning in the every day higher education practice in their contribution. They survey some important issues and methodological elements of virtual classrooms in comparison with demands for teaching procedures, programs, and materials. L. Horváth and I. J. Rudas propose a methodology for intelligent communication and change management for engineering modeling. This study motivated by increasing of importance of change management because of continuous product development. M. Maleković and M. Čubrilo describe in their contribution how to incorporate infatuation in multi-agent systems. Infatuation stands for the focusing on a single attractive or desirable characteristic of another agent and then considering the total agent as that one positive characteristic. E. Pap and M. Takács study two dimensional copulas as binary aggregation operators in their paper. Invariant copulas and an application of copulas in the theory of aggregation operators are discussed and a result on approximation of associative copulas by strict and nilpotent triangular norms is obtained. B. Reskó, Á. Csapó and P. Baranyi present in their contribution a visual cortex inspired cognitive model for contour and vertex detection. The contour detection and vertex extraction is performed by a vast network of simple units of computation simultaneously processing the visual data. The computational units are organized in a special structure, the Visual Feature Array. M. Takács addresses investigation of the problem of the approximate reasoning in the fuzzy systems, by reviewing a specific case, where the investigated structure is a real semi-ring with pseudo-operations. It is the investigation of special-type fuzzy sets, special g-generated t-norms and implications in approximate reasoning. J. K. Tar, I. J. Rudas and A. Rontó present in their paper a simple adaptive controller that creates only temporal and situation dependent system model. The temporal model can be built up and maintained step-by-step on the basis of slow elimination of fading information by the use of simple updating rules consisting of finite algebraic steps of lucid geometric interpretation. A. R. Várkonyi-Kóczy, A. Rövid and P. Várlaki present a new fuzzy based tone reproduction pre-processing algorithm which may help in developing the hardly or non-viewable features and content of the images making easier the further processing of it.
