Week 9 - Knowlege of changes

I text book mentions that it is important that all the members of the organization to have complete knowledge about the changes. There is a mention of collective knowledge in organization and how it is seen that collectively the knowledge about the changes in the organization is not the same. The text book gives an example where interviewed members of the organization to see if they were all aware of the changes and if they all knew the same thing or was there variation. It was observed that the management team had the same idea of the organizational change where as there was a variation in the lower level employees who did not have a very clear idea of what actual changes would be and their idea was on in line with the management. It is important that all the members of the organization have the complete knowledge of the changes and it is the responsibility of the upper management to make sure that this information is communicated to the employees well and they need to make sure that the employees know what the changes are by asking them and talking to them individually about it.
