The Impact of Change Management in Organizations – a Survey of Methods and Techniques for a Successful Change

The change management includes the control of the change in the organization and its flexible adaptation to the constant changes. This paper issues from the idea that which desires to adapt to the external environment and especially to the progress, must accept the change and respond to them in a quick and responsible way. The approach of this paper is placed on two distinct levels of analysis. The first one summarizes a theoretical level and aims the presenting of the main elements, methods and instruments operating the organizational change. The second level is more complex, aims the practice and is represented by a case study conducted in several business organizations. Starting from the fact that organizations are, first of all, open social systems, and changes undoubtedly are made only by people, we can affirm that the human dimension regarding the change is critical, through the fact that the attitude and the action lead to the success or to the failure of the change.
