The Burke-Litwin Model highlights the main elements or source of major transformational change and also the changes that are incremental in nature. The four transformational factors are external environment, mission and strategy, leadership, and organizational culture. The main cause that makes a company to make changes is the external environment. It can force any organization to make changes to its mission, culture, leadership, and operating strategies. Changes in the 12 drivers in The Burke-Litwin Model bring a series of change to the overall structure. Various internal and external organizational factors that influence the changes in the organization are:

Managing organizational change is the process of planning and implementing change in organizations with maximum effectiveness and minimum circumstances and resistance. Today 's business environment requires companies to undergo changes almost constantly if they are to remain competitive. In this project paper I am going to discuss organizational change in PepsiCo.

Changing situations throughout the world affect all organizations in business today. Therefore, most organizations acknowledge the need to experience change and transformation in order to survive. The key challenges companies face are due to the advancements in technology, the social environment caused by globalization, the pace of competition, and the demands regarding customer expectations. It is difficult to overcome the obstacles involved with change despite all the articles, books, and publications devoted to the topic. People are naturally resistant to fundamental changes and often intimidated by the process; the old traditional patterns and methods are no longer effective.

Change has become necessary for every organisation there is. World is moving rapidly towards better technologies, efficient systems, new techniques, compact profits, different friendlier environments and organisations are always in the race to reach new heights by thriving effectively in this competitive environment (Kotter, 1996).

Organizational Change Management is “all of the actions required for an organization to understand, prepare for, implement and take full advantage of significant change”.

Understanding human behavior is vital in the organization in which I work. I work as a supply sergeant for a military police unit, the 233D Military Police Company. The managers and leaders in this organization face many challenges. Throughout the last ten weeks we have gained a plethora of knowledge from the text book, ORGB, by Debra Nelson and James Quick in regards to human behavior in organizations, formal and informal organizations, organizational commitment, influential tactic, goal setting, leadership style, conflict management style, empowerment, performance appraisal, and change management, and several other subjects regarding organizations, management, and anything or one that may affect it.

Change within organizations is a necessary process for its growth. According to Van de Ven & Sun (2011), it is very important for any change being made to be consistent with the organization’s long-term goals. Misalignment of the firm’s goals with the proposed change will cause breakdowns and gaps in the process. ABS Corporation is currently undergoing an organizational change, on how services are being offered and delivered to the client. The firm is moving from a holistic model, to a variable model, allowing the implementation team to customize each service to the needs of the client.

Organizations are constantly changing; be it through new members, new rules, or new leaders. It is an inevitable part of organizational life. The book defines the change of organizations through organizational life cycles. Simply put, organization life cycles look at how organizations change through time due to the internal and external situations that influence the change. When a change occurs within an organization, new rules, leadership styles, and communication needs to be adopted in order to cope with the change. This paper will explain the concepts of organizational change and leadership processes by applying it to my own personal experience of being a member and president of UC Santa Barbara’s Khmer Student Association, a student-run cultural club.

A clinic is introducing a new electronic medical record system in the office. Employees have been introduced to the new system but they are having problems in fully understanding the new operational aspect of the system.

On the other hand, the psychological contract, developed by a scholar named Denise Rousseau, involves informal arrangements, mutual beliefs, common ground and perceptions between an employee and the employer. The theory behind it, according to Rousseau’s article (1998), defines the state of the relationship and defines detailed practility of the work to be done. This paper emphises on the importance of organizational change agents to understand the psychological contract theory, the barriers to organizational change and the methods and techniques involved in organizational change management

Change is the only thing constant on Earth, and although organizational change is easy to talk about, it is also hard to acknowledge and accept the value that it could potentially bring. In today’s businesses, it is evident that there is a need to adapt to changing environments as companies expand globally (Demers, 2007). Some external factors that prompt change are technological, economic, social, and political; internal factors include size, age, financial losses, and need to grow (Kushalappas & Pakkeerappa, 2014). Managing change is probably one of the most important, yet difficult issues in managing an organization. Thus, being able to keep up with change is not only important for sustainability, but also for success.
