    Unformatted Sample Text from the Research Paper:
    of the reasons for this is because of not many people understand the concept behind change management, or its impact on a firm or its employees. The major aspect  to remember about change management is that is most effective when it follows a strategic plan, and win employees are prepared to deal with it and accept it.  The purpose of this paper is to analyze the concept of change management, define it and also explain issues that could occur in connection  with both strategic planning as it pertains to change management. Classical Approach - Advantages and Disadvantages Before determining if the classical approach  is the best way to manage both strategy and to help with change management issues, it might be a good idea to define exactly what the classical approach entails.  The classical view of strategy is considered one of the oldest views -- it was formulated during the early 1960s, when strategic management  was beginning to make its way into many business models (Harfield, 1998).

Once the decision is made, the subordinates are expected to obey those directives without question (Harfield, 1998).
