A change management report

Change is always necessary for a business. If a business doesn’t changes then the external world will outgrow it and will finally cause a crisis to the business. However every change is a risk because a business will be developing an uncertain or untested idea. Every business continuously changes every time it makes a decision. For example, when the multinational company Apple introduced the new Iphone and Ipad, it took a risk. It was a massive change because now these would be the products which it will massively produce. There was a great deal of risk too because the people would may or may not like that good. But it turned out to be leading brand of smart phones. Another example was when the multinational cold drink producer Coco cola first thought of shifting to new markets worldwide. It required a huge amount of money and certainly the board of management was unsure of it but it turned out to be a great decision.

Management – If many other schools are adopting this policy, then XXX SCHOOL must also try to stay ahead of market trends. Moreover as XXX SCHOOL is a new school, its main objective is to grow. For this, they need more funds and reputation which they can achieve only through their performance level which depends on how well the students perform.

Internal resisting forces would be –

Employees- All the employees of XXX SCHOOL including teachers, security department, food department etc have to come to work one more day. They will surely resist the change because of the extra workload. They will get higher salary but against the extra work they will ignore the benefit.

Customers – Parents and students will surely oppose the change. Students will not tolerate because anyways they prefer not to go to school and will lose 1 day of enjoyment. Moreover the parents also will not like to send their children to school on ...
