This is a second part of the series of the blogs about sources of organizational changes at entrepreneurshipinabox.com. You may want to read about sources of organizational change where we talking about internal and external sources of organizational changes. But some questions that is asked is whether sources of organizational changes is important or not for entrepreneurs? Entrepreneurs that not follow sources of the organizational change will not be entrepreneurs for long time.
Here are some of the reasons of importance of sources of organizational changes for entrepreneurs:
- When entrepreneurs recognize sources of organizational changes they will simplify the planning process of organizational changes, and good planning was half of the change process.
- Because an organizational change presents some type of problem solving, then sources of organizational change will tell to entrepreneurs about problem that exists and that must to be solved.
- Timely recognition of sources of organizational change will give to entrepreneur’s answers about when business must to change.
- Sources of organizational change will not allow entrepreneurs to go in winter dreaming, but they kept him awaked that allow entrepreneurs to react on all that forces that request changes.
- External and internal sources of organizational change make businesses to be in equilibrium with their environment
Importance of timely discovering of sources of organizational change was shown from Peter Senge in his capital book The Fifth Discipline: The art and practice of the learning organization. He talking about untimely discovering of sources of organizational changes and compares it with “scalded frog”. Senge in his book describe that if we put the frog in the very hot water then the frog immediately will jump from the hot water and will survive. But, if we put frog in water with indoor temperature then frog will remain in the water. If we gradually increase temperature of water to 25 Celsius degrees the frog will not react and will show signs of satisfaction or enjoying. With further increasing of the temperature of the water, the frog will feel warmth but will not react. At the end frog will die. This will happen because frogs have internal detector of threats that is setting to suddenly big changes. Something like this may be the case with businesses that constantly is under influence from environment. If in the environment of the businesses will occur some big problems, entrepreneurs will react on with organizational changes and with this they will avoid this change in environment to impact negatively on the business. But if changes in the environment are continually small changes, entrepreneur will not answer on those small threats until they realize that is late to answer on these turbulences in environment.
Entrepreneurs must to continually watch sources of the organizational change, whether they are internal or external, big or small. Maybe this will be the key for competitive advantages. You must to follow everything that’s happened in or out boundaries of your business.
