| dc.description.abstract | Change in today’s business environment is seen as inevitable and organizations will face a
difficult task of surviving into the future, unless they are able to find an organizational
change management approach that will assist them in navigating the organizational change
Landscape for the 21st Century. This study sought to explore the change management
practices at Save the Children International Kenya (SCI Kenya), and the challenges of
managing change at SCI Kenya. The study which was qualitative in nature, made use of a
case study research design methodology for the collection of empirical evidence to support
the underlying constructs and research questions posed within the study. The use of data and
methodological triangulation, namely research interviews and review of organizational
documentation provided the research study with the necessary validity and reliability to
support research results, findings and recommendations. The study established that the need
for operational efficiency was the major force behind the changes at SCI Kenya. It also was
established that changing donor priorities, requirements and increased demand for
accountability dictates the funding and the scope of SCI Kenya programming. The study
concludes that the changes at SCI Kenya were planned, and recommends that SCI Kenya
develops a documented framework for monitoring and evaluating change implementation
processes. | en_US |
