Management and Change

Introduction

Myriad organizations adopt various strategies for effective operations but gradually there are always some sorts of alterations needed to make it competent and in line with the overall organizational mission. Such changes are required because the external and internal conditions transforms with time.

Present Situation

I personally work in prison with the inmates who suffer from diabetes. As different international entities need change with time, this organization is also suffering form some problems that needs a transformation in process. At the moment there is a diabetic nurse specialist who comes once in a month for two hours and she only sees four inmates out of 19. I feel the time is not enough and most of them are not seen, especially, the type-2 diabetics, she only concentrates on type -1 diabetes and not seeing all of them.

Proposed Change and Rationale

The present practice is not acceptable due to the following reasons:

Diabetic management is poorly managed in the prison services

Lack of diabetes specialist nurses

Less number of specialized diabetes nurses

The specialized diabetes nurse gives less time to the present number of candidates

Lack of knowledge to the staff working with the diabetic prisoners

The diagnosis is done once in a month, which is completely unacceptable for the health of prison inmates

No proper concentration is given to type-2 diabetes

A change is recommended which includes the inclusion of four diabetic nurses to the present system and the time duration for diagnosis should be doubled. The change also required the diagnosis to be done twice a month. The change will also involve the encouragement to the diabetes nurses and doctors to give some time to the prison inmates on a voluntary basis. We can we can apply various tools for the organizational diagnosis that monitors and recommends the result of the change. We can monitor the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats before application of change and after the application of change. Other tools of organizational diagnosis in our context can be done by monitoring the health and level of satisfaction by the prison inmates who suffer from diabetes. The level of health raised or declined will allow us to identify that whether our proposed strategy needs some transformation or it is in line with the overall goal of the proposed change. Moreover, there must be educational activities done to aware people regarding diabetic healthcare.

Organizational Theories

Historically, the term classical organizational theory has been used to denote models of organizing that were developed from approximately the early twentieth century until the mid-1940s. The best known of these classical theories were scientific management, ideal bureaucracy, and administrative management.
