Every business, every organisation faces change at a certain moment of its existance. Twenty first century dictates businesses its own rules and pushing companies to implement changes more frequently. Reasons are various, for instance globalisation, new opportunities, cost savings programmes and restructurings. How well change is managed will determine the future of an organisation.
