Creating a culture of change
Article Abstract:
The analogy of a battle is used to illustrate the process of organizational change planning and its implementation. Corporate managers should emulate great military commanders who had the flexibility to change their strategy and tactics in accordance with a given situation. Thus, management practices that had been proven to be effective in the past may no longer be so. Corporations should persist in reinventing themselves if they wish to remain competitive.
