Change and Culture Case Study 1

Moreover, merger of the two companies carries along risks to human resources as it increases in insecurity among employees, lower levels of satisfaction at work, less affective commitment, and a loss of trust in the firms and management teams. Those issues would lead to difficulty in bending cultures, reductions in service levels, poor motivation and loss of key people and clients, and eventually impede the ability of the two companies to achieve their longer-term objectives and result in the failure of merger. [9]

The solution adopted by many companies is to move toward greater delegation. Yet it is difficult for top managers to give up responsibility. And lower-level managers are not accustomed for making decisions for themselves. As a result many companies struggle during this revolutionary period, because many lower level employees leave the organization since they stick to centralized methods.

First, we would perform a thorough stakeholder analysis and define the roles and responsibilities of each. Secondly, we would engage these stakeholders (e.g. patients, board members, employee, physician, local community leaders) in constructing the vision and strategic goals of the merged entity. Thirdly, the deployment of specific human capital management strategies would be a

Organizational change encompasses many challenges to both the individual, and the organization. An organization is a living system, as Flower (2002) states “living systems cannot survive without change, challenge, variety, and surprise” (Flower, 2002, p. 16). An organization requires the ability to adapt in to survive as Darwin states in The Origin of Man, “It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change” (Read Me First, 2013, p. 1). It must adapt to the changing market, global economic pressures, stakeholder demands, and the diverse needs

Therefore, this could be a major problem with staff’s seniority. What happens if John Doe has 15 years at King Memorial Hospital and Jane Doe has 15 years at Johnson Pike Hospital and they perform the same job? Johnson Pike Hospital has a contract for 5 years with King Memorial to provide quality of care without duplication. This scenario will cause dissension to occur between staff members which will affect the quality of care being provided. Consequently, the only option is for layoffs to occur to correct the overstaffing that resulted in the merger. However, if the two hospitals merge for profit only and maintain both hospitals, each hospital would maintain their staff. Consequently, the plan to increase the profits may take a little longer and could be risky financially of the viability of the two facility co-existing separately. Consequently, for all of these possible scenarios of the effects of mergers, it is so important to analyze all the parameters thoroughly before undertaking a business

T. S. Kord, in a 2016 article for Cultural Dynamics, stated that he had a new theory for why our culture enjoys horror films in that “horror films primarily seek to elicit not fear, but guilt” (69). He said this because he felt that horror films acted as a way for people to feel the guilt that they should be feeling about various issues in life but are not. Kord also felt that violence was a vehicle through which this genre caused people to wrestle with the guilt they should be feeling. While this may be the case for the horror genre, it may be different for a newer genre that, although normally categorized in the science fiction class of movies, takes some cues from horror. This genre is that of the dystopian future, a normally violent, somber

Prompt: Discuss an example of how society was changed due to a change in law: Prohibition.

Maintaining the human needs of the staff members in the merger would entail keeping the employees informed about the organizational changes brought about by the merger. This would mean applying an effective communication strategy that keeps the employees well informed as members of the team. Mainly, during interdepartmental mergers, the nurse leader must build a communication plan throughout the merger process. In this case, the nurse leader clearly communicates details about the merger to every stakeholder affected by the change, including employees, patients, and vendors (Dessler, 2011). Implementing proper channels of communication will facilitate sharing of information between stakeholders, consequently reducing conflict, improves

Textile, steam, and metallurgy based innovations amounted to a legacy in Britain and a precedent for future industrial revolutions for other countries. As urbanization became a phenomenon in Britain, people migrated to the city centers in an effort to find employment and waged labor. New technological advancements, during Britain’s Industrial Revolution, prompted change in society and culture. The increased demand for British goods resulted in merchants needed more cost-effective methods of production, which led to the rise of mechanization and the factory system. The separation of social classes and labor was one major effect of the inventions. Also, women and children were the new solution for long, hard hours and lower pay. Cultural changes were a direct result of this increase in technological developments, reshaping familial relations and daily life, while leaving an agriculturally based culture.
