11. Types of Change
• Planned Change--change that is anticipated
and allows for advanced preparation
• Dynamic Change--change that is ongoing or
happens so quickly that the impact on the
organization cannot be anticipated and
specific preparations cannot be made
12. Types of Organizational Change
• Anticipatory changes: Planned changes based on
expected situations
• Reactive changes: Changes made in response to
unexpected situations
• Incremental changes: Subsystem adjustments
required to keep the organization on course
• Strategic changes: Altering the overall shape or
direction of the organization
14. Tuning
• The most common, least intense, and least risky type of
change
• Also known as preventive maintenance and kaizen
(continuous improvement)
• Key is to actively anticipate and avoid problems rather than
waiting for something to go wrong
Adaptation
• Incremental changes that are in reaction to external
problems, events, or pressures
15. Reorientation
• Change that is anticipatory and strategic in scope and
causes the organization to be significantly redirected
• Also called “frame bending” (Nadler and Tushman)
Re-Creation
• Intense, risky, and decisive change that reinvents the
organization
• Also called “frame breaking” (Nadler and Tushman)
