Term Paper , 2012 , 21 Pages , Grade: 2,0

Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance

This work deals exclusively with describing a generic ideal change process from the perspective of an organization based on the existing literature.

After quickly elaborating on the relativity of the term “ideal” change process and the determination of a clear definition within the context of the paper, the author will introduce the reader to four basic mindsets and assumptions about organizational change. Background knowledge about that is to be used as input for the design of the ideal change process. Once this is done, the ideal change process is to be defined on a generic level with all of its components. The paper closes with a summary and a conclusion.
