Resistance to change needn't be futile
Purpose – Reviews the latest management developments across the globe and pinpoints practical implications from cutting‐edge research and case studies. Design/methodology/approach – This briefing is prepared by an independent writer who adds their own impartial comments and places the articles in context. Findings – Taking people out of their comfort zone by bringing in changes in working conditions, possibly sweeping changes that may involve them in an uncomfortable period of adjustment, probably new methods of going about their day‐to‐day duties, and possibly an increased workload is likely to meet with resistance, initially at least. It is normal; it is human nature. Practical implications – Provides strategic insights and practical thinking that have influenced some of the world's leading organizations. Originality/value – The briefing saves busy executives and researchers hours of reading time by selecting only the very best, most pertinent information and presenting it in a condensed and easy‐to digest format.
