Abstract :
The business landscape of the 21st century is characterized by rapid change brought about due to technological, economic, political and social changes. It is no longer the case that the managers and employees of firms in this decade can look forward to more of the same every year. In fact, the pace of change is so rapid and the degree of obsolescence if organizations resist change is so brutal that the only way out for many firms is to change or perish. In this context, it becomes critical that organizations develop the capabilities to adapt and steer change in their advantage. The role of senior managers becomes crucial in driving through change and ensuring that firms are well placed with respect to their competitors. However, it is the case that in many organizations, senior managers actively resist change and in fact thwart change initiatives due to a variety of reasons which would be explored in subsequent sections. This paper begins with a discussion on kinds of change, examines senior managers as barriers to change and discusses approaches to mitigate such resistance. This paper also examines on how to create a sustainable change, change management programs, some ways to actualize change and finally looks at the role that Human Resources can play in supporting and enabling change.
