Planned organizational change can follow either the evolutionary model or the revolutionary model of change. Discuss the main features of each model. When would a manager follow one model instead of the other? Which of these have you experienced?

PLANNED ORGANIZATIONAL CHANGE

The targets of a planned organizational change effort are as varied as
organizations. The early phases of planned change establish the need for change and identify the target that needs changing to reach the desired future state. The target can be an organization’s culture, decision processes, or communication processes. Managers might need to change a task’s design or the organization’s design. They might want to introduce technologies or adopt a new strategy for the organization. Managers should choose the target only after carefully assessing the current state of the organization and the need for change.
