Change Management. The Role of the Manager in Change Processes

Bachelor Thesis from the year 2010 in the subject Business economics - General, grade: 1,7, University of Cooperative Education Bremen, language: English, abstract: As Charles Darwin recognised early on, everything and everyone is subject to change. His theories about the evolutionary development of all organisms and their division into different species brought about the decisive turning point in the history of modern biology. What is happening today, however, has certainly not existed in this complexity before: Technological innovations, economic developments, learning and adapting present organisations with ever new challenges under the aspect of globalisation and determine everyday business life. More and more companies are failing to meet the demands placed on them, especially by the current economic situation. This is also reflected in the number of corporate insolvencies, which rose by 11.6% in 2009 compared to the previous year. The general and entrepreneurial change is increasing in speed and thus also demands ever faster reactions and adaptation measures.
