Introduction
Change is an inseparable element of our contemporary reality and pertains to nearly all the
areas of human activity. Flexible adaptation of an organization to changes occurring both
inside the organization and in the proximal and distal environment of it is an essential
condition for its survival and development. Equally important is the ability to predict the
changes to occur and be ahead of them, not only react to the existing ones. Therefore, skilful
and consistent change management, or – in a narrower meaning – management of a change
process, is especially important in that area.
The study will also present selected theoretical issues referring to the issue of change
management. Both the concept of management with its characteristic features and
management in the context of managing change will be presented. Different approaches to the
process of change management will be shown, with lists of individual phases of the process.
The issue of examining the effectiveness of the process will also be mentioned. Finally, the
main trends within change management will be pointed out.
1. “Management” – the concept and its basic characteristic features.
There are many different definitions of the term 'management', derived from particular
currents and schools of management. They display various approaches to considering that
issue and expose different characteristic features, but at the same time they allow for getting
broader knowledge and better understanding of the discussed issue. As a result, finally they
allow to create a coherent image of the defined issue.
The most often quoted definition of the term 'management' is the one proposed by R.W.
Griffin, which describes management as “a set of actions (including planning and decision-
making, organizing, leading, i.e. managing people and controlling), directed at the resources
of the organization (human, financial, material and information ones) and carried out for the
purpose of achieving the objectives of the organization efficiently (using the resources wisely
and avoiding unnecessary waste) and effectively (taking proper decisions and successfully
implementing them)”.2 It is complex enough to comprehensively express what management is

– to determine the actions included in it, the assumed goal and means of carrying it out – and
thus to clearly communicate the essence of the process.
Another definition says that management is “a process based on taking decisions which make
it possible to use particular resources to achieve the desired goals, with coordination of
actions involved in a particular activity of people.”3 It is based on similar elements as the
definition mentioned before – it also emphasizes that management is not a single action but a
set of activities (a process) directed at a particular objective.
Still another definition indicates that management “involves the provision (conscious
creation) of proper conditions for an organization to operate in accordance with its
assumptions, in other words, to carry out its mission, achieve goals compliant with it and
maintain the necessary level of coherence allowing for survival, which means separation from
the environment and development, which means carrying out the mission and goals in the
future”: setting the direction and ensuring that the organization follows that direction.4 In this
case, the emphasis is on another aspect of management – ensuring the survival (and in the
future also development) of the organization by creating conditions appropriate for it.
Henri Fayol, as a representative of the administrative trend, defined management from the
perspective of five functions, i.e.:5
planning – predicting the future, setting objectives and the directions of activity
enabling to achieve those objectives;
organizing – mobilization of resources (both material and human) necessary to achieve
the set objectives and distribution of the resources among the selected contractors;
ordering – assigning tasks to individual persons involved in a given process and
ensuring its completion;
coordinating – combining particular resources and ensuring their harmonious
functioning for the achievement of the set objectives;
controlling – comparing the real state with the target one.

These are the basic functions included in management, applicable to any area. R.W. Griffin
defined the term 'management' with the use of those functions, which has already been
mentioned.
P. Drucker, in turn, presented the basic qualities ascribed to management, which express the
essence of it. According to him, management:6
mostly refers to people;
is deeply rooted in culture;
requires simple and clear values, goals and tasks;
should result in the organization being able to learn;
requires communication within the organization and with the environment;
is based on a complex system of indicators allowing for constant and comprehensive
monitoring, evaluation and, as a result, increase of effectiveness;
is one-sidedly and unambiguously oriented at the fundamental, most important result –
the set objective.
It is not, of course, a closed catalogue of characteristic features of management but only a
proposal, which can be modified in the case of a particular situation. At the same time, for a
process to be called management, not all the listed qualities must occur; what is important is
that the essence of activity is shown.
In the context of management, environment plays a particularly significant role and therefore
it should not be forgotten that the environment has a considerable influence on the process of
management. Individual changes of environmental conditions make the organization
constantly react and even predict those changes and take actions before, thus initiating the
process of management within the organization.
2. Change management as a specific kind of management
There are at least two approaches in defining the term of change management. The first of
them indicates that change management is a specialist method of management, just like e.g.
strategic management, human resources management or quality management.7 The other

represents a view that change management is an interdisciplinary subject combining elements
of the theory of management, methods and techniques of organizing the institution and its
work and knowledge of psychology, sociology, economics and technology.8 The first of the
presented approaches is definitely much narrower than the second one, as it only refers to the
“kind” of management and thus it (or at least certain elements of it) is included in the concept
of management. As for the second, it refers to change management in a more cross-sectional
and comprehensive way, at the same time showing the multidimensional character of the
process, and should be analysed from that perspective.
It is often indicated that it is not change that is managed but a process of changes, and
according to P. Drucker, change cannot be managed: it can only be anticipated9; that,
however, is the question of a particular approach to the phenomenon and the scope of
analysis. The term 'change management' is commonly used and means, among others,
predicting and anticipating changes as integral elements of the management process. We are
going to stick to this attitude.
A few selected definitions of the term 'change management' are presented below in order to
introduce the analysed subject matter.
Change management involves actions aimed at remaining in the course of change and making
use of it so as to achieve one's own benefits. At the same time, it is a cyclical process of
planning, operational activities, monitoring and control, which refers to all the entities
functioning on the market, i.e. enterprises, territorial self-government units, business
environment institutions etc.10 This definition is closely related to the general definition of
management expressed from the perspective of functions of management but also considers
the background of occurring changes.
Another definition says that change management is a process of using the organization's
strategies to ensure harmony with reference to the changing environment, being closely

related to the available resources.11 In this case, the special role of strategy as a tool enabling
management of the whole process of changes was emphasized.
Still another definition indicates that change management is a key and inseparable element of
change, as its purpose is to allow people accept the subject of change (transition from the
present state to the state which should occur after the change) with the use of a proper set of
actions and techniques.12 The definition points out the essence of the whole process in a very
general – but also very telling – way.
To sum up, change management is a process which enables to take an organization from the
initial state to the assumed final state using the available resources, techniques and tools,
taking into account its needs and aspirations as well as environmental conditions. Therefore,
in the simplest meaning, change management is a category of management analysed with
reference to the occurring changes of environmental conditions.
3. Change management as a process.
It can surely be said that change management is not a simple activity but a process – it
includes many actions occurring gradually in time and basically aiming at the achievement of
the goal set in the beginning.
Since change management is a gradual process, selected approaches to it will be presented
below.
There is a multitude of various authors' proposals regarding the phases (stages) of change
management. Some of them are very general, including only a few stages, whereas others are
complex and detailed. Below, the ones will be presented which have a particular cognitive
value for the discussed issue. It should not be forgotten that these are just model solutions, not
common schemes of activity.
A multi-phase process of change management includes only 3 phases (preparation,
implementation and evaluation), but at least several stages are singled out within each of
them:13

Projekt współfinansowany przez Unię Europejską w ramach Europejskiego Funduszu Społecznego oraz Budżet Państwa
the phase of preparation
taking the decision that changes are necessary, drawing up the general goals of activity
and informing the interested parties of the planned actions;
creating the control team and the research and planning team;
analysis and diagnosis of the opportunities and threats occurring in the environment;
analysis of the internal situation of the organization and the available resources;
formulating the vision and strategy of action;
development of the types of change from the strategic and operational perspectives
and their evaluation;
selection of the best solution and planning it.
the phase of implementation
creation of a detailed plan of changes and a plan of implementation;
informing the staff of the selected program of changes and obtaining funds for the
execution of the project. Development of schedules of implementation and training
the staff;
implementing the plan of changes (in the organizational structure, in technical and
technological resources);
appropriate control of the implementation program, elimination of the occurring
barriers, including psychological ones.
the phase of evaluation
evaluating the results of changes from the perspective of economic effectiveness or
social consequences;
reinforcing the former achievements by further adaptation of the conducted changes.
The multi-phase process of change management is very detailed and indicates particular
actions within the framework of particular phases. It must be emphasized, however, that each
organization is specific and the course of the above-mentioned model scheme may be a little
different in each of them. Not all the steps must occur but all may occur. Some others may
also need to be added to “link” the process together. Therefore, the indicated stages of change
management must be approached flexibly and adapted to one's own needs.

Another approach proposes the following stages of change management:14
determination of the organization's maturity to change;
preparation to the implementation of change, including:
analysis of the initial situation which is the subject of changes and identification of the
entities / persons affected by change and their readiness for the process of change;
planning actions as part of a project of change and developing the vision;
communicating the idea of change based on the conviction to change;
carrying out – determination whether the planned change has resulted in organizational
changes and development of a schedule of training sessions to support the planned
change;
creating and implementing – execution of the prepared plans and their adjustment as
the need arises on the basis of a wide range of communication and feedback,
overcoming resistance to changes;
training sessions;
synchronization and compatibility of actions between particular areas.
In this case, the number of actions was greatly reduced, and the stage of preparation to
introduction of the change was emphasized and divided into particular activities.
So as to keep the balance, one more approach to determination of individual phases of change
management will be presented below. In that approach, the following stages are enumerated:15
analysis of the organization's strategy and changes occurring in its proximal and distal
environment;
determination of the purpose and scope of change;
diagnosis of possible solutions;
planning the change in a multi-variant way, at the same time considering the interest
of all the interested parties;
selection of the variant and the strategy of implementing changes;
implementation of the change and evaluation of its efficiency and effectiveness.
On the basis of the information presented above, there are many different approaches to
isolating individual phases of the change management process. It is worth emphasizing that

identical phases and characteristic elements can be found in each above-mentioned approach
to the determination of stages of change management. So, one can say that change
management covers the same key stages and has the same qualities in every situation,
regardless of what it refers to. Most generally, the primary stages of change management
include:16
the strategic stage (taking the decision as to the need of change and its direction);
the planning stage (determination of the initial situation, development of a plan of
changes aiming at the achievement of the desired state);
the stage of realization (management of the change implementing project).
The following characteristic features (elements) ascribed to the process of change
management are enumerated:17
identifying the reason for the need for change;
emphasizing the target, “where we want to be” after the completion of the change;
planning the implementation of the process of change;
carrying out the process of change;
taking actions to ensure durability of the introduced changes.
Undoubtedly, each stage of change management is important and plays a particular role in the
whole process, as it ensures its comprehensiveness; the phase of implementation, however, is
especially vital. It is the culminating point of the whole process, because in that phase the
plans, ideas and developed programs are confronted with the reality – in other words, the
obtained information and knowledge is used in practice in the initial stages, and the effects of
the further part of the process are dependent on the result of that stage. Therefore, it is good to
look more closely at the “structure” of that stage. The phases distinguished within the stage of
implementing a program of changes are enumerated below.18
gaining support and involvement of the key entities;
preparing a suitable implementation plan;

supporting the implementation plan with consistent activity and behaviour;
developing the structures which enable to achieve the goal;
celebrating the achievement of milestones;
constant communication.
Change management as a process includes a number of stages, each of which is extremely
important as it contributes to the success of the whole process – achievement of the set goal –
but it must be remembered that achieving the success is not so easy.
4. Effectiveness of the change management process.
There are two basic premises for taking up the introduction of change: necessity to quickly
improve the economic situation or necessity to improve the organization's efficiency.19 The
change is supposed to contribute not only to improving the effectiveness of functioning but
also to improving the ability to improve: in other words the ability to conduct further
changes.20
Depending on the occurring situation, a given organization develops a specific program of
change management directed at the achievement of the set goal, not forgetting, of course,
about all the determinants of the whole process, including risk (in the process of change
management, determination of the risk level related to introduction of the change is necessary,
as the risk may prove to be disproportionately high in relation to the expected benefits).
All the concept models of effective implementation of changes are based on the natural and
previously verified potential of the company and manifest the following qualities:21
the changes must be cross-sectional;
already existing procedures should be used to introduce the changes;
indication of a set of factors necessary to achieve success.
For more effective change management, it is necessary to have and further develop
multidimensional resources, particularly the capital of strategic planning, company capital,
social capital, human capital, sources of financing, infrastructure and technical capital. 22

For the process of changes to be effective, it must be based on the following seven steps:23
mobilization of energy and involvement by means of common identification of
problems and solutions to them;
drawing up a vision of the changed and improved future accepted (shared) by all the
interested entities;
identification of leadership concerning the change, i.e. the leader to control the whole
process;
concentrating on current (short-term and fragmentary) results, not on particular
actions;
beginning the change from periphery (smaller areas) and spreading it to the whole area
covered by change without pushing it “from the top”;
institutionalization of success by formal rules, systems and structures;
monitoring and adapting the strategy of changes as a response to the occurring
problems in the process of changes.
Behaviour complying with the above-mentioned steps will allow to efficiently and effectively
manage the process of changes occurring in an organization; 'effective' meaning one that
ensures the achievement of the assumed objective.
5. Trends in the change management.
Within the domain of management, there are different approaches to considering this issue.
Literature sources point out three primary trends:24
systemic (represented by: H.J. Leavitt, R.H. Waterman, T.J. Peters, J.R. Philips,
A. Bednarski, J. Szlendak);
behavioural (represented by: W.L. French, C.H. Bell, E. Masłyk - Musiał,
M. Trocki, W.W. Burke, G.H. Litwin);

integrated (represented by: Z. Mikołajczyk, B. Wawrzyniak, M. Bratnicki,
L. Clarke, D.K. Carr, K.J. Hard, W.J. Trahant, B. Grouard, F. Meston).
The systemic (object) approach is based on the assumption that each organization is a system
(a set of cooperating and interrelated elements) connected with the environment through
information. That system is influenced by different forces but it will suffice to change the
structures, technologies and people and the change will automatically spread to the whole
organization. The essence of change management in that approach is based on working out
mutual relations and adjusting individual elements of the system to one another, whereas all
the difficulties result from unsuitable adjustment of particular components of the system (i.e.
the strategy, structure, systems, action styles, personnel, skills, norms and values).
The behavioural (subject) approach is mainly related to the areas of organizational structures,
technologies, attitudes of individual participants of the changes and the essence and quality of
employment relations. It treats change as a process of improving the organization, whose
effectiveness depends on proper definition of methods, rules and procedures and the sense of
need for change among the organization's members. It assumes that change is a condition of
the organization's survival in the environment. However, it should occur not only in structures
but also among the executives. It points out mutual relations of the participants of the change
process and refers to educational methods of the trend of “learning by experience”. It
emphasizes the special importance of the process of development of personalities and needs
of the people who form the organization.
The integrated (comprehensive) approach combines the elements of the systemic and
behavioural approach. It points out the special role of leaders of changes in the change
management process and the necessity to direct the changes in a strategic way.
Conclusion
Changes occurring both in organizations and in their environment are an inseparable element
of the contemporary world. An organization, in order to survive and develop in the future,
must skilfully and reasonably manage change with the use of all the available methods, tools
and resources. It is not easy, it issues many challenges and requires overcoming a number of
barriers but it is possible.

In the 21st century, it must not be forgotten that change management is first of all:25
the key skill of learning organizations which are oriented at the constant process of
improvement;
the most important skill of the people managing the organization;
one of important aspects of economic entities transforming into companies managing
knowledge.
No doubt an increase of complexity and dynamics of changes in the environment has a
detrimental effect on the process of management, complicates it to a great extent and forces
the organization to look for newer and more effective ways of survival and development.26
Thus, each organization should pay great attention to the process of change management,
which is a tool and at the same time a way to find one's place in permanently changing
environment.
