Corporations undertake change initiatives in response to their environment. Managing these initiatives successfully is often difficult for organizations. Determining what needs to change, the process used to implement change and working with the human factors are three of the main issues that must be confronted during the change process. Change initiatives are undertaken when the organization believes change will provide a benefit and help reach or define the organizational goals. Business ethics have been in the media. Over the last few years some of the largest and most admired companies in their selected fields of business have been affected by their organizational ethics or their inability to adapt to change. Many of these ethical lapses occurred while the organizations were in a state of change. This thesis includes a literature review, which defines and notes the characteristics of both change management and business ethics. Also, a survey was administered to obtain primary research, and to expand upon the literature review. The purpose of this thesis is to determine if there is a connection between successful change implementation and ethics. The author's hypothesis before researching the topic was there is a direct connection between ethics and successful change management implementation, helping increase stakeholder value. The research results do not support this hypothesis. However, ethics can influence the ability of leadership to implement change, but does not guarantee success. This thesis will explore the shared influences of ethics and change management such as culture, environment, and their dependency on communication.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Walter Schroeder Library Master's Theses AC805 .H3677 2004 Available Add Copy to MyList Format: HTMLPlain textDelimited Subject:   Email to:
