Organization changes often need someone to act as a catalyst and assume the responsibility for managing the change process. Change agents can be a manager with in the organization but could not be a non manager. Managers face four main types of change. Changing people refers to changes in attitudes, expectations, perceptions and behaviour of individuals or groups. Automation is a technological change that replaces certain takes done by people with tasks done by machines. Negotiation involves exchanging something of value for an agreement to lessen the resistance to the change effort. Strong cultures are particularly resistant to change. Stress is the adverse reaction people have to excessive pressure placed on them from extraordinary demands constraints or opportunities.
