    Book Review: Leading Change by John P. Kotter

    In light of the increasing rate of change in the business environment due to factors such as technological advances and globalization, the need to be able to make successful transformations within an organization becomes more imperative than ever before. In Leading Change, Kotter identifies an eight-step guide for making successful organization changes. These eight steps stem from avoiding common mistakes made during organizational change efforts seen in the past , such as: too much complacency; failing to create a powerful guiding coalition; underestimating the power of vision; under-communicating the vision; permitting obstacles to block a new vision; failing to create short term wins; declaring a victory too soon; and neglecting to anchor changes firmly into the organizational culture.…

    Importance of Human Capital

    Human capital is the collective value of the capabilities, knowledge, skills, life experiences, and motivation of an organization’s workforce. It is also known as intellectual capital which is the knowledge, creativity, and decision making that people contribute in an organization (Zinni et al, 2011). Many companies focus far too much on measuring return on invested capital (ROIC) rather than measuring the contributions made by their talented employees (Bryan, 2007). Organizations should realize the importance of human assets and how they can be used to predict the corporate performance and remain competitive in their specific industry.…

    Rapid and Continuous Change – a Modern Perspective

    Hence, in today’s global and dynamic environment marked with hyper-competitive and volatile markets it is widely recognised that an organisation’s ability to manage change quickly, productively and positively is a critical driver of organisational success (Cope, 2009; Gilley, Gilley, & McMillan, 2009; Gilley, Godek & Gilley, 2009; Turner-Parish, Cadwallader &Busch, 2008; Appelbaum, Claude, Nadia & George, 1997). However, despite the overall agreement that change is essential for organisations to gain a competitive edge or even survive, change can be so disruptive it can completely destroy organisations (Abrahamson, 2004). Results from recent research support this by suggesting that up to 75% of organisational change initiatives fail to yield promised outcomes (Stanleigh, 2008; Glor, 2007; Lawler & Worley, 2006; Reger, Mullane, Gustafson & DeMarie, 1994). This in turn has made strategies of organisational change an extremely popular and well-debated topic amongst academics and organisational theorists (Turner-Parish, Cadwallader & Busch, 2008). But despite the vast amount of literature on this topic, the link between change strategies and successful change management remains rather unclear and therefore continues to attract further research (Gilley, Gilley, & McMillan, 2009).…

    The Idea of Human Capital

    Human Capital affects our everyday life. It does not discriminate against anyone no matter what race or part of the world you are in. People blinded by human capital can have a mislead future. David Brook states: “But skills and knowledge-the stuff you can measure with tests-is only the most superficial component of human capital. U.S. education reforms have generally failed because they try to improve the skills of students without addressing the underlying components of human capital” (The Longman Reader) (210). Human capital is more than just having a genius I.Q. or attending an Ivy League school. Our other factors in life help dictate a person’s skills and knowledge for what it takes to get the job. Society and the marketplace is focused on education, but not anyone’s social skills or morals that come hand and hand with dealing with the responsibilities of the any job. I will be addressing how just because a Master’s Degree listed on a resume’ does not make a person the right one for the job. What if a person has been on a job for fifteen plus years that was grandfathered in their position, now all of a sudden has to step down to let that person with the degree take the position and does not know how to say good morning or use Microsoft office. This is what brings us back to “We now spend more per capita on education than just about any other country on earth, and the results are mediocre” David Brooks stated in his essay on Psst! “Human Capital.”…
