    Introduction -- Identifying the need for change -- Understanding change -- Implementing change -- Maintaining change.
    Today, the business environment that surrounds an organization is changing rapidly and is challenging managers to become far more alert and inventive than ever before. Many business organizations are trying to understand the process of change in terms of which approaches will lead to successful changes and which actions will fail to achieve the desired results. This dissertation is an analysis and evaluations of the process of change in respect to identifying, understanding, implementing and maintaining change within the business organization.
    An essential element in the management of change is the ability to recognize change as it starts to take place. Management needs to stress a continuing self-examination as a part of the process of identifying and managing change. The organization must adopt a positive view toward change and respond in an orderly manner.
    Understanding the characteristics of change is a far more complex task than identifying specific changes. In today's business environment, employees are experiencing considerable stress because they can no longer perform their work as they formerly did. Resistance to change by employees and managers alike is one of the most difficult problems that business managers have to resolve in their organizations.
    Business organizations should be structured to create the circumstances that make it possible for individuals to contribute their ideas to the process of change. Managers need to develop internal environments that stimulate individuals to act and give them the power to do so. Successful change depends basically on a redistribution of the decision-making power within the structure of an organization. The power redistribution should occur through a good developmental plan for the business organization. This plan involves a number of phases, each containing specific elements and multiple causes that provoke a needed reaction from the power structure, which, in turn, sets the stage for the next phase in the process of change.
    The most important task for the business organization is to develop the characteristics of the business environment that can be managed to permit change to take place on its own. Change management systems must continually be reviewed and re-reviewed to assess its appropriateness and effectiveness.
    The business organization must be responsive to the social revolution in the both the internal and external environment of the company and to the new structures and systems necessary for improving its performance for the future.
