Business Principles and Technology

Job Specialization

The contemporary workplace has vastly changed thanks to the globalization effects that in itself has grown quire complex too. The previous workplace and the requirements are very different from the one that is experienced currently. The today's world has vastly changed in terms of structure, process and even content of work hence making work cognitively very complex, work is now more team-based than ever before, more dependent on the social skills of each employee, work is dependent on the technological competence, more time pressured and apparently more mobile and far less dependent on geography (Judith H., 2010). This therefore calls for a keen linkage between the organizational structure and design to the goals and expected outcomes of the organization. In the attempt to align the organizational structure to the vision and goals of the organization, there are key issues that must be observed; the objectives of the organization must be made clear and unified. The employees must then be pointed toward the right direction with the aim of converging at the vision. There is need for constant monitoring to ensure that there is purposeful effort input from the employees and these efforts are tied up to the corporate goal. The progress of the employees towards the collective goal must be assessed on a regular basis and each employee must know how their individual efforts mesh in with the organizational goal. The goals must be kept on track and this can be done through constant evaluation of these goals.
There is then the need to keep the team unified through talent development within the organization (Media Tech Publishing, 2013).

Resistance to Change

Change is inevitable within every organization hence there is need to initiate and implement the planned change. Planned change is a situation where the organization implementing the change clearly foresees the changes and the eventual differences between the present and the desired state. The planned change management hence is quite straight forward and is supposed to be smooth sailing from the point of the commencement to the actualization of the desired end result (Matthew W & Bertie M., 2005 ). One instance of a planned change within the organization is the creation of a public relations department where initially there was none. This is a change that is well defined and the management has the end result in their mind. On the contrary, the unplanned change cannot be good for organizations since there will be difficulty in coordinating and managing as well as controlling the change process. The unplanned change will also make prioritization of issues or changes become quite hard since there is no systemic manner of bringing solution to the need for change within the organization.
