Stress can be an unfortunate consequence of change and anxiety, both at work and personally. However, change is a constant for organizations and thus for managers and for employees. Large companies, small businesses, entrepreneurial startups, universities, hospitals, and even the military are changing the way they do things. For instance, Japanese convenience stores, which are found everywhere in Japan, are experimenting with labor-saving technologies to offset rising labor costs. As owners and franchisees adapt to and implement the changes, consumers must adapt, as well.1 Although change has always been part of a manager’s job, it’s become even more so in recent years. And because change can’t be (and shouldn’t be) eliminated, managers must learn how to manage it successfully. In this chapter, we’re going to look at organizational change efforts and how to manage those, the ways that managers can deal with the stress that exists in organizations, and how managers can stimulate innovation in their organizations. Finally, we’ll look at the impact of disruptive innovation.
