Which among the following is one of the advantages of the McKinsey 7S model 1 It is considered a long-term modelWith the changing nature of businesses, it remains to be seen how the model will adapt. 2 It seems to rely on internal factors and processes and may be disadvantageous in situations where external circumstances influence an organization. 3 It is considered a longstanding theory, with numerous organizations adopting the model over time.

Organizational changes, revolutionary or evolutionary and levels, vary in different organizations.  While some similarities are present, the culture, and leadership of an organization can impact the readiness for change. Katombe (2018) explored several change models as a "one size fits all approach" does not work (p.48).  To understand the depth and variety of change, Burke (2018) provides a comprehensive summary of levels of organizational change in Table 6.1 to highlight how and when each change would be initiated and a probable cause of resistance. (p. 135-138). Of course, resistance to change must be considered as it is often a barrier that hinders success. Therefore, examining for readiness to change might be the most important factor in initiating and implementing a change endeavor. Alolabi, Ayupp, and Dwaikat (2021) believe that connecting stakeholders with a shared belief in the necessity of change is critical and could increase buy-in.   Based on the readings and your research…

An organizational change model provides a basis for exploring what needs to change and offers a process to initiate change. Burke (2018) states "These models represent an integration of content and process and have evolved from both practice and theory" (p.207). Identifying the need for change, the organization's readiness to change, and potential resistance to change, determines how change is approached.  Of course, application of specific change models can present challenges.  However, Michels and Murphy (2021) developed a nine-trait framework for measuring an organization's change power using four of the most common company archetypes, therefore identifying factors that can increase an organization's ability to change. In the same way, Radel (2021) demonstrates the simplicity of a change framework and the McKinsey 7S Model in a visual diagram of all the necessary components for change to happen.   As you explore conceptual and integrated models for understanding organizational…

The contingency approach to change recognizes that there is no one-size-fits-all solution.

This approach requires leaders to assess the specific challenges and opportunities within their organizational context and adjust their change initiatives accordingly. Factors such as the organizational culture, employee readiness, and external environmental factors play crucial roles in determining the most effective change approach. By acknowledging and responding to the contingent nature of change, organizations can enhance their agility and resilience in the face of evolving internal and external dynamics.   Question: How can organizational leaders effectively identify and assess the key contingencies that influence the success of change…

Critical Thinking In recent years, for packaged products the FDA has proposed that companies include the per- centage daily value for added sugar on the nutrition la- bel. The primary reasoning behind this proposal is that it would provide information on added sugars comparable to what consumers have been exposed to for nutrients such as saturated fat and sodium that the FDA advises should be limited in consumption.46 Do you think that this update to include added sugar is necessary? Do you be- lieve that this update will alter how people consume and make consumption decisions on products containing add- ed sugars? Explain the reasoning behind your answers.
