I envisage Lewin's Change Management Model being a looping process, that when stage is not satisfied, it changes to the next phase. The three phases shown below are true reflection of NRZ of what is, what needs to happen and what has to be. At one time the NRZ was in the freeze phase which over a period of time changed …show more content…

Influence other parastatals that need to move goods and service, to consider the NRZ as its preferred transport source. Take advantage of its broad stakeholders (cliental base), the general publicly and provide subsidized pricing to commuters. I foresee this as a working strategy. Its clients today shy away from it, and opt for other suppliers which is a huge large.

    Poor Customer service - Premature Reduction of marketing budget in year 5 led to decrease in customer awareness and accessibility. Pricing - lack of understanding of how Capsim works (repositioning the product to a different segment in year 4) led to us underpricing a product we assumed had moved to a different segment. We charged less that the price in the customer buying criteria, thereby reducing contribution margin and eventually reducing profit for that year. Mismanaging TQM – In a particular year, we overspent on TQM, leading to diminishing returns. Product positioning – In some years, some product were positioned in the rough cut.

    Due to decentralization the top management also lost sight of their stores and employees, and only tracked them through their sales figures.

Public sales contests, awards, and recognition also pressured the employees to focus on the SPH figures and feel pressured. Despite all these issues the top management didn’t acknowledge them for a long time leading to increased pressure on the

    Unlike Lippitt’s change theory, Lewin emphasised on teams or work groups to bring about change.

According to Kurt Lewin’s Force Field Analysis (Lewin 1951), behaviour is a force in equilibrium and change will only occur when there is a disequilibrium in the force.

Employees must be part of the change hence, they must to be told about the requirement of the change and be given a reward to motivate to embrace the change. If change be accepted by all recipients it can be implemented quickly and effectively. The leaders’ attitudes and behaviors have both positive and negative alterations on the change success.
