Shifting organizational paradigms: Transitional management

Organizations of all shapes, sizes, and locations are being faced with changes not experienced since the industrial revolution. The globalization of business, increasing competition for a sophisticated workforce, advances in technology, the customer's demand for products better, faster, and cheaper as well as other trends translate into opportunity for those who embrace it, and shrinking market share and potential difficulties for those that resist it. The primary issue is the context under which change will be endorsed. This article outlines the shifting organizational paradigms and recommends solutions that may mitigate the pitfalls of transitional management.
