I am currently writing a thesis for my bachelor degree about resistance to change. To introduce this, I wrote about the type of changes and highlighted the differences. What I need now is some real example of companies.
Thanks in advance.
Dear Vito,
Unless you provide your working definitions of "evolutionary" and "revolutionary" changes, you will not receive the answers. Talking about countries, not companies, many Latin American countries experienced frequent "revolutions" in the 20th century but largely remained the same, Singapore passed through 4 real revolutions since independence regarding economy structure, GDP composition etc.in a very evolutionary way.
Evolution is a type of change that happens slow and has a very long time-span. Organizations that use it are sometimes called "learning organizations".
Oppositely, revolutionary changes take place to adopt disrupt innovations, to adopt a new computer operating system and where employees show resistance to change. It is implemented all at once and make a clear break with the past. I hope I have clarified a bit. Thanks for your help.
Dear Vito,
You put "the resistance to change" as a part of your definition of revolutionary changes.In real life, revolutions are based on massive movement of active and passive supporters who are stronger that the supporters of the "ancient regime". Enclosed please find an example how a revolutionary change happened (i.e. was carefully managed) without a massive resistance.
