Change management is a systematic approach to dealing with the transition or transformation of an organization's goals, processes or technologies. Change management aims to implement strategies for effecting change, controlling change, and helping peopleadapt to change (Zimmerman, XXXXXXXXXXFor example, research shows that employees prefer to receive organizational messages about change from leaders at the top of their organization. And they prefer to receive messages about the change's impact on their day-to-day work from their immediate supervisor. There are cons to change management, especially if a program is unsuccessful. Employee resistance is one of the biggest obstacles to change. There are many benefits to change management. Some of these benefits include improved communication, increased productivity, reduced stress, and improved decision-making. change management can also help improve employee morale and create a more positive work environment (Zimmerman, 2021).
The contingency approach to management, also known as the situational approach, holds that there is no single textbook rule for managing an organization. In each company’s case, the “best” approach will be contingent upon the company’s internal and external needs (Coelho, Paiva, Segatto & Caporossi, 2019) Leaders who use the contingency approach are flexible when choosing strategies and adapting to new demands. An example of the contingency approach is in business management when a manager deals with challenges as they arise by assigning tasks to employees with relevant skills. The contingency approach also applies to a manager’s personality, such as coach-and-mentor, which affects his leadership style and ability to motivate employees. The contingency approach helps the manager to enhance their leadership and decision-making skills. However, the Contingency approach suffers from inadequate of literature. It is not sufficient to say that a managerial action depends on the situation (Coelho,Paiva, Segatto, & Caporossi, 2019)
.Cultural diversity can make communication difficult, especially in the workplace, where amisunderstanding can cause costly problems. When people from different cultures work together, several factors can become barriers. We’ll be taking alook at these factors first, and then dive into how to overcome them in aglobal team. Verbal communication is important in every context, but the meaning of words can literally get lost in translation. If one person isn’t aware of the exact meaning of aword, it may be misunderstood or misinterpreted by the other person and lead to aconflict of ideas (Perucchetti, 2017).
