Thesis (Ph.D.)--Carleton University (Canada), 2007.

The thesis presents a case study of a planned change initiative at a pharmaceutical company. The change involved the introduction of a matrix structure. Grounded theory was used to guide the research. More than sixty in-depth interviews were carried out over a period of eighteen months. The data from these interviews were supplemented by quantitative data. The research explores how the change initiative developed over time, the perspective of different levels within the organization on the change initiative, and the relationship between individual, group and organizational change processes. By adopting a processual-contextual and multilevel approach, the research brings together analysis of the processes, contexts and perspectives related to this change. The research determined that change processes at different levels are interlinked, and demonstrates that change phenomena at one level affect phenomena at other levels.

520 $a The thesis presents a case study of a planned change initiative at a pharmaceutical company. The change involved the introduction of a matrix structure. Grounded theory was used to guide the research. More than sixty in-depth interviews were carried out over a period of eighteen months. The data from these interviews were supplemented by quantitative data.

The research determined that change processes at different levels are interlinked, and demonstrates that change phenomena at one level affect phenomena at other levels.
520 $a The research demonstrated that any organizational change may also be affected by other changes that are taking place within the organization---what this research terms the change context and change offshoots. The research describes a theoretical framework of the planned change process and also a typology of types of organizational change that takes account of the existence of multiple levels within an organization. It also proposes a tool---a change context map---to aid change management practitioners.
