Organizational Change Carries Risks and RewardsOrganizational Change Carries Risks and Rewards
Figure 13-1
The most common forms of organizational change are automation and rationalization. These relatively slow-moving and slow-changing strategies present modest returns but little risk. Faster and more comprehensive change—such as reengineering and paradigm shifts—carries high rewards but offers substantial chances of failure.
