Chapter 12 explains why change is good in the work environment. Technology changes so abruptly and we all have to keep up with the fast pace of it all. I will be discussing the different types of change and how to overcome the resistance to change. I also will be discussing how culture effects organizations. Technological change is the first type that the book discusses. It is a well-known fact that technology changes at a very fast pace. New machines, or equipment are constantly changing and becoming faster and more efficient. Email has changed the business world incredibly. Now we can send a document to someone in a matter of minutes rather than having to wait days for a response. It is also a lot easier to do international business now. We have come a long way in the field of technology. Automation is another type of change. The book defines automation as the simplification or reduction of human effort to do the job. Computers and other machinery have allowed jobs like inspecting and assembling to be done by robots. This is a lot cheaper than having humans do these jobs. The need for training is gone. Unskilled jobs are decreasing. Change is not always as welcome as technology.
