fundamental change which triggers a thought process and establishes new activity patterns and set up the basis for new equilibrium periods.
2.5.2 Specialisation theory
Specialisation theory describes exploration and exploitation as divided between two organizations. Organization A focuses on exploration while organization B focuses on exploitation (Lavie & Rosenkopf2).
However Annique1 (2007) came up with the drawback of these two theories. As against the punctuated equilibrium theory, she criticised that organizations cannot simultaneously pursue both exploration and exploitation by compromising their future advantages. She criticised the specialisation theory quoting that in this situation a hold-up can occur. If organization A is the designer and organization B the manufacturer. Organization B can refuse to produce the product as being designed by organization A or refuse to produce it so efficiently. Likewise organization A can refuse to reveal their new ideas and products to organization B.

Paying simultaneous attention to exploration and exploitation is not possible in punctuated equilibrium theory or specialisation theory. It is because of the reason that all the previous researches focussed more on structural ambidexterity, contextual ambidexterity has remained as a widely under-researched realm (S. Raisch & Birkinshaw, 2008). Recently many researchers have come up with contextual ambidexterity and its dynamisms and repercussions on organisation and businesses. Since it arises from the features of its organization context, ‘contextual ambidexterity’ is named so (Gibson and Birkinshaw9)building ambi. Structural ambidexterity arises from the structural mechanisms and process to pursue innovation. This is the main difference between the
Change happens in a business for many reasons, such as internal and external pressure. A helpful way of thinking about the factors influencing change is to use the PEST acronym. This highlights four of the main influences of the operation of a business.

The only difference is the options they must choose
Stephen R. Covey in his work entitled The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People called what I experienced a paradigm shift. In other words, I learned to see a situation from a differing perspective that caused a eureka moment of discovery—for the better in this
Marianne Giesemann’s work is like a part of an underground society that helps those above ground perform better and have a more productive life with the products that she makes. These products that she makes and designs with a group of talented specialists work to help people of different professions perform their job with a higher level of efficiency. Her products can be used by different companies and as long as the language of her products are translated, people of other countries and ethnicity groups can also use them. There are many jobs and professions that depend on how well she and the rest of her team program and design their products as if their products are designed well and work smoothly. It’s like she is working in the shadows
The main differences between the two are in length, the requirements, and who is in charge of
Imperative mode of change described in the model indicate the transformation achieved from the leadership authority position, where the change is complaint with the coercive power strategy adapted by the company. According to the McWhinney model, the Emergent solution is a mode of change that can be achieved by the creation and acceptance of a newer idea generated from the change leader individual, or that might have originated from the group involved in the change process. This mode of change bring in necessary changes by enabling social interaction through the alteration of the values held by the critical stakeholders, and the solutions arrived at are positive in nature. Inventive mode of change is one where the change is accepted in the company for the usefulness of a new alternative solution, and the transformation is achieved through the realisation new solution.

The first example is the findings which helped devised a business strategy for the telecommunications sector. Threat of new entrants: It was found by Sutherland (2014) that the telecommunications market tends to be a monopoly or oligopoly due to the requirements of large investments and economies of scale. There are also the requirements of legal documents such as licences which can create a barrier to entry. Bargaining powers of suppliers: Sutherland (2014) notes that, the suppliers (Governments) offer monetary aid and funding in an effort to help develop new technology in this sector.
An overlook on these is that some may find them different, but they are basically the same thing in the since of protecting the
Companies succeed if their strategies are appropriate for their circumstances they face, feasible in respect of their resources, skills and capabilities and desirable to their important stakeholders-those individuals and groups, both internal and external, who have a stake in the behaviour. or expectations of the organization’s performance and fluencies over the business. They include employees, managers, shareholders, suppliers, customers or clients, trade unions and the communities local and national in which the organisation operates. Companies fail when their strategies are failed to meet the expectations of these stakeholders or produce outcomes which are undesirable to them. So it needs to consider all implications of a shift in strategy, not simply the effect a specific stakeholders
Structural Functional Theory Structural functional theory is a macro sociological theory that is based on the characteristics of structures, social patterns, social systems and institutions such as education, religion, leisure, media, economy and politics. If all these social institutions are organized and co-operate with one another around a set of core values functionalist theorists assume that the entire social system will function properly and efficiently. Society in structural functional theory has a view that it is an organized system of interrelated parts that are held together by shared values and established social arrangements that help maintain the system to be in a state of balance and equilibrium. Structural functional theory is a broad perspective in sociology and anthropology which sets out to interpret society as a structure with interrelated parts. Functionalism addresses society as a whole in terms of the function of its constituent elements; namely norms, customs, traditions and institutions (Vibha Desai, 2013).
That requires a thorough analysis of the expected benefits in relation to the degree of business change. A change that affects the entire organization would have the potential to increase business revenue substantially. As change grows in cost and complexity, the higher will be the scope of change and, subsequently, different strategies should be introduced. Once the degree of change is determined, a suitable delivery program for the organization should guide all change effort.
Criticism: Lazonick (1993) took up the challenge with porter regarding the issues of rivalry, issues regarding rivalry alone cannot pressure firm to produce more innovative products. When a firms faces too many issues from their competitors, they may rather choose to imitate their competitors’ products than innovate products at their own risk. When foreign competitors come up to take challenges with firms, firms would rather choose to be cooperative the business with their current competitors to prevent decline of products. Porter’s diamond framework concept most of the time focuses on the home based market due to competitiveness of a national business system is usually derive from their home based market (Porter, 1990).

1. Market Penetration requires increasing the existing product sales in the existing market. The main strategic objective is to obtain more market shares or get the position of market leader. As an example: Aldi followed the market penetration strategy by opening thousands of stores across UK offering the same products. 2.
