Current Research Model of Organizational Change and Development

Depth Abstract:

This part of this paper discusses in depth the influence of the leadership methods, the radical change methods, and the incremental change method about the change methodologies environments. The environments are different and so are the methodologies as previously discussed. During change, a specific type of leadership methodology will have a different kind of impact on the change effectiveness, depending in which change method environment it is applied.

Leadership methods are mixed situational methods of change processes. Radical change leads to a short-term response in followers. And incremental change methods lead to long-term change process strategies. Each of these methods correlates to effectiveness levels in Business Process Reengineering (BPR), holistic Business Process Management (participatory-solution focused methods or in short hBPM), in process modeling (PM), and in workshop applications (WA). 

The definition of positive change is: Goleman et al (2002) said positive change is the result exactly as desired by leadership in respect to competitive advantage, with highest retention possible and increase of productivity efficiency among all stakeholders. Therefore, it is probably obvious that the opposite of positive change, the negative change, consists of resistance to change and resistance to their new processes proposed. They are ineffective, employees quit, customers transition their business to the competition, and the change process is likely costing the organization massive amounts of resources with little to no positive results.
