- W11170150 abstract "The viability of small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) (defined as having 20to 200 employees for this research) is vital to economic stability and growth in theRegional District of the Central Okanagan (RDCO). An important factor in thesurvival and growth of these enterprises is their ability to implement effectiveorganisational change.This research has been defined by the research objective, to examine the nature oforganisational change experienced by SMEs in the RDCO and considers researchquestions in relation to the prevalence of organisational change practices, thetypes of strategic changes and the external and internal factors influencingorganisational change as well as changes in the structure of the work force. Theobjectives pursued with the introduction of change initiatives, and the extent towhich the objectives were achieved was also considered.The impact of selected demographic variables (size, presence of a humanresources manager and existence of planning) on the introduction oforganisational change practices and strategic changes was analysed and presented.The ability of regional SMEs to meet the economic expectations placed upon themand their uniqueness compared with large organisations was investigated.Examination of the relevance of existing models of organisational change toSMEs leads to the development and presentation of a new conceptual framework.Information analysed quantitatively was obtained from a questionnaire distributedby e-mail or regular mail to approximately 400 businesses and that to be analysedqualitatively from in-depth interviews and a focus group involving a smallersample of these same organisations.SMEs in the RDCO are experiencing changes in management, changes inproducts and services, changes in equipment and technology as well as work forcegrowth and the restructuring of work practices. Objectives sought by theintroduction of these changes include improving labour productivity, reducinglabour costs, increasing competitiveness, as well as improvements in internalcommunications, decision making, business processes, and customer service. Themajority of SMEs report that they achieved these objectives to a major or minorextent.The perspectives of managers and/or owners in SMEs relative to their first handexperiences and their reflections on organisational change are presented. Theuniqueness of SMEs, the relevance of regional context and the pace and scope ofchange are considered. Insightful commentary has been summarized and anumber of interesting themes emerge. The proposed new model forOrganisational Change in SMEs has been refined and validated." @default.
