Organizational Management -- Concepts and Essay

The most observable aspects of organizational communications would be apparent from the way that employees typically use various communications media and technology.

Business Ethics

In contemporary American business culture, business ethics refers to the same types of concepts as the more general organizational culture except that business ethics concepts are limited to those relating to moral ideas and values (Robbins & Judge, 2009). Certain aspects of business ethics pertain to matters required by statutory law and regulation while others are strictly matters of the moral values and commitment of the organization.

The narrowest systems of business ethics are strictly limited to the formal requirements of law; meanwhile, some organizations maintain much broader systems of business ethics that limit organizational behavior far more than the formal requirements of law (George & Jones, 2008). The most observable aspects of business ethics would be the manner in which organizations conduct ethical training and the extent to which ethical concepts are featured and emphasized in instructional materials and official policy statements.

Change Management

In modern business, organizations continually undergo changes in their strategy, operations, and organizational culture (Robbins & Judge, 2009). Change management refers to the specific manner in which various changes are implemented and the way that business units and individual employees incorporate those changes without disrupting normal business functions and relationships any more than absolutely necessary by virtue of those changes (Robbins & Judge, 2009). In that regard, certain (typically small-scale and/or superficial) changes do not pose significant challenges from a change management perspective; however, other (typically large-scale and/or fundamental) changes may pose tremendous challenges with respect to their efficient implementation without unnecessary costs (Robbins & Judge, 2009).

The most observable aspects of change management within organizations would the manner in which various changes are announced, promoted, adopted, and implemented. In that regard, business organizations differ substantially in the degree to which they consider the importance of approaching various specific elements of change in ways that both anticipate potential difficulties and minimize the problems associated with those potential difficulties (George & Jones, 2008).
