Abstract

It appears that the past habits of planning for change and planning one's way through it will no longer work. However, it does not imply that our entire business experience does not contain any lessons in it. There is a need to recognize change as a process rather than an event. Then, it becomes important that our skills and understanding in shaping and implementing such processes are rooted in past learning from work settings. Excellent corporations do not become the way they are merely by surviving another quarter. Rather, they are created by well-tuned people at different levels who think and act creatively in response to the impact of change on their work settings.

Also, the topics that will be covered in this paper will be as follows:

1. INTRODUCTION: Meaning and features.

2. Goals & objectives of Organisational change & organisational development

3. Organisational Development: Meaning, features, characteristics, objectives & aims, Prequisites of organisational development, Need to Reinvent Organisational Development

4. ORGANISATIONAL LIFE CYCLE

5. RESISTANCE TO CHANGE: Why People Resist Change, Reducing Resistance to Change.
