Change Is Inevitable
"Change is inevitable. Change is constant”
-- Benjamin Disraeli
The world we live in is full of uncertainties, the only certain is change. Change in simple words is to make something different from what it is. The very existence of our society can be attributed to an unwitting caveman who discovered fire and changed the way we ate. The discovery of the wheel changed the way we thought; the invention of electricity changed our lifestyle completely.
Throughout the ages we have seen men trying to change things in order to make them better over and over again. We have seen borders change, weather patterns change, governments change, policies change and even constitutions change. Human minds, tastes and preferences, moods and emotions all change almost every other hour.
The universal law of the world that we do business in is that change is the only constant, so how can business be above it?
When we talk of business’ there are several kinds of changes that we may encounter and have to deal with in order to successfully operate. These changes maybe Internal (example – change in company policy) or external (example change in consumer tastes.) The business will only be successful in its ventures if the management and executive body can respond well to the kind of change that is prevalent in the company. In preparation for this change, you must be able to identify the various kinds of changes that can occur in a business and recognize which one it is that is affecting your business.
Change in Management
A change in manage occurs when existing employees move on to different organizations, leaving a vacancy that needs to be filled before the company can move forward. In some case, the management may come to the decision that a new manager is needed and the firm will make arrangements to replace the existing executive. When a managerial change takes place it changes the whole working environment changes either for the better or the worse, but a change is definite.
