Organizations are social entities formed to achieve the collective goals (Daft, 2010). Organizations perform tasks through routine processes thriving for efficiency. All organizations need to change; no matter small or large, they need to change to survive. Moreover, the internal and external environment of organizations is constantly changing. For that reason the organizations always need to adapt to a changing environment in order to thrive. That means that organizational change is obviously something to do with organization.

When organization is preparing to make the planned change, at first, all the ways have to be thought over, after that organization has to choose the best way to achieve the targets and put the best way into the action. If something unpredictable happens, react fast and come back to the chosen plan. Planned change model depends a lot on stable …show more content…

• emergent change – what occurs along the way. Organization didn’t plan something but that was happened;
• opportunity-based change – how organization use what occurs. Something was happened on the way, and organization use it actually to bring change in the different direction, finally organization is becoming more efficient.
An Improvisational model of change (Orlikowski W. & Hoffman D., 1997):
Describing improvisational change process, it can be said that organization has a target, but the way to reach this target is unpredictable because organization is always adapting to changes situations. The head of the organization expects always something will be happen. As a result, the head of the organization is always open and ready to change fast. In this model the act first and then only thinking why this action has been done.
So to say it briefly:
• Planned change has its limits;
• Turbulent environment requires improvisation;
• Actual change is always anticipated, emergent and opportunity
