Organizational change refers to the transition of the organization from its current state to future change. The change is done to the organization in order to make it more innovative and competitive so that the organization can meet its short-term and long-term goals.
The most important thing that I have learned in an organizational change course that I would be able to apply in my career is to communicate change effectively.
