Management of Change
Change is not only a reality in organizational management but also a necessity. The current turbulent environment requires that an organization and its members have the ability to undergo dynamic changes to achieve high performance levels and be able to maintain their competitive advantages and value contribution.

To be successful in efforts to manage change, managers must be capable of  recognizing the forces that motivate change. These forces can come from sources that are internal or external to the organization. Sometimes they originate from a combination of both.
Managers are the main change agents in most organizations. Management’s commitment to change must be visible because its behavior will serve as a model for employees. A shared vision of change must be developed that includes participation of the greatest possible number of employees in the planning process. A careful diagnosis and needs analysis must be carried out before proceeding to implement change.
Because resistance to change is an unavoidable fact, management must plan for its occurrence and prepare to manage it. Timely and complete communication on the background and consequences of change, high levels of participation and empathic support will be very useful in helping an organization’s members during the transitional stage. In addition, the organization’s rewards system must be prepared to reinforce new behaviors and to snuff out the old ones. Finally, to effectively meet the goals of change it is also important to carefully select an organizational development technique.

Adam Smith (baptised 16 June 1723 – died 17 July 1790 [OS: 5 June 1723 – 17 July 1790]) was a Scottish social philosopher and a pioneer of political economics. One of the key figures of the Scottish Enlightenment, Smith is the author of The Theory of Moral Sentiments and An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations. The latter, usually abbreviated as The Wealth of Nations, is considered his magnum opus and the first modern work of economics. It earned him an enormous reputation and would become one of the most influential works on economics ever published. Smith is widely cited as the father of modern economics and capitalism.
Smith studied social philosophy at the University of Glasgow and the University of Oxford. After graduating, he delivered a successful series of public lectures at Edinburgh, leading him to collaborate with David Hume during the Scottish Enlightenment. Smith obtained a professorship at Glasgow teaching moral philosophy, and during this time he wrote and published The Theory of Moral Sentiments. In his later life, he took a tutoring position that allowed him to travel throughout Europe, where he met other intellectual leaders of his day. Smith returned home and spent the next ten years writing The Wealth of Nations, publishing it in 1776. He died in 1790.
