Create a 10 pages page paper that discusses models of strategic change. Classic works in the field of organizational change describe this process from several basic theoretical stances, but the common view is that organizational change plays a key role in maintaining the efficiency and competitiveness of the organization (Van de Ven & Poole 1995).

However, implementation of the change is associated with numerous difficulties: the change is hard to initiate and sustain, it takes much time and it has to overcome the innate resistance of people to change. Perhaps these major problems led to a common misconception that change is not necessary for an organization: the example of Enron, Daewoo Motors, Pan American and several other industrial and technological giant clearly demonstrates what is likely to happen to an organization which fails to recognize the necessity of major change despite the difficulties associated with this process.

Traditionally, organizational change is analyzed through the perspective of social (organizational) psychology, sociology, and management (Balogun & Jenkins 2003). Researchers admit that social and psychological factors interrelated with the principles of management combine core elements of organizational structure that allow judging of productivity of an organization, its marketability, stableness, the motivation of personnel, etc. Social criteria of organizational change generally include the size of an organization, the so-called “time depth” (time of it existing), social and demographic structure, professional structure, functional structure, etc. Psychological criteria consist of the alleged “social climate”, group identity, formal and informal structure of an organization. Finally, managerial principles include the necessity of changes, all-round assessment of the market situation, etc. All of these types are interrelated and may combine a variety of factors necessary to include while classifying organizational structure (Weick & Quinn 1999).&nbsp.

Hi, need to submit a 1750 words paper on the topic Environmental Sustainability in the Teak Plantation Industry. The benefits of the tea plantation industry can be achieved in optimum conditions. In this case, Indonesia based on its location and climate can be considered as a suitable and one of the most favorable places to establish the said industry. Indonesia is a beautiful tropical country with the capability to allow a huge variety of plant species. This can be attributed to the sufficient amount of rainfall and sunlight that the region is receiving. The high moisture level is also another contributing factor. Due to the said environmental components, Indonesia had been the home of numerous endemic plant species and even the types that had been brought from other countries and regions around the world.

Based on the benefits of the teak plantation industry and the chance to undertake this in Indonesia, our family is included in the people who established the business. With the initiative of my father Hartono Sarwono, a feasibility study had been done and the process had been carefully planned.

There are different issues, though that can be considered to affect the operation of a teak plantation in the country. Included in the issues considered as plagues in the country are government corruption, the action of Muslim extremists,s and poverty. These factors took a toll on the environment because of the neglect of the authorities. In addition, forest fires also often occur largely due to man-made activities.

Land in Jakarta is expensive because it is the capital of Indonesia. It is the main spot for transacting business and economic development. It is the area where most rich entrepreneurs and investors reside while having agricultural business operations in the rural areas outside Jakarta.

The rural areas are comparatively different standard of living as that of cities like Jakarta. This can be observed in the different technologies and infrastructure in the said rural areas. Most villages only have paved roads limited to main routes. Specific areas can only be reached by specialized vehicles adapted to the terrain such as 4-wheel drive vehicles. But such luxury cannot be achieved by local people with an average wage of $70 per month. In terms of education, most of the people only finished primary school while a limited number luckily graduated in high school.
