Abstract
This paper gives an analysis of the dynamics of global change and transformation. The paper is a literature review of theory and research addressing change and transformation. The paper aims to explore the following questions: What are the major economic, political, technological, ecological, demographic and socio-cultural changes? What are the effects and consequences of these global change trends on organizations? For example, what are the role of information technologies on organizational transformation? How do globalization, regionalization, privatization, deregulation and other major economic transformations affect organizations? What are the major advantages as well as disadvantages of these ongoing change dynamics? How can (and should) organizations prepare themselves against current global trends and change dynamics?
