Businesses are now called upon to consider – and, indeed, intentionally to manage – the wider social and environmental consequences of their actions, beyond the requirements of the legal and regulatory settings in which they operate” (Charles River Center, 2008).

...Three Principles for Managing Change By MaryLou Brandstetter Discussion Board Unit 3 American Intercontinental University January 21, 2012 • Select 3 principles you believe are the most important to follow when managing change and describe why you feel these are essential. "Thought processes and relationship dynamics are fundamental if change is to be successful" (Lynco Associates, Inc. 2009). This statement is true because understanding between individuals is necessary if change within an organization is going to succeed. “To succeed, they also must have an intimate understanding of the human side of change management…. Leadership teams that fail to plan for the human side of change often find themselves wondering why their best-laid plans have gone awry” (Jones, J., Aquirre, D., and Calderone, M., 2004). Open communication between individuals, management and employees, all the way down the chain from the top level to the very bottom will ensure that everyone has the same understanding of any imminent change. "The intrinsic rewards of a project are often more important than the material rewards and recognition" (Lynco Associates, Inc. 2009). People who are involved with a project will take personal satisfaction when their part of the project is successfully completed. That feeling of satisfaction can be much more rewarding than receiving compensation, a feeling of a job well done. This feeling is what makes us want to do the very best we can and keeps us motivated...
