Every company, in its state of affairs, comes across certain organizational problems that leave it in jeopardy, if left unaddressed. The ever-changing and dynamic nature of the global corporate world tends to increase the threatening factors that lead to many dilemmas for organizations in almost all areas of business. While companies duly formulate, implement and evaluate strategies; it is especially important that the risk of such problems must be predicted and minimized as much as possible. Every organization is at stake of corporate inefficiency, and market instabilities, provided it makes a sound commitment to remain sustainable in the face of crisis and chaos (Nugent, 2009). Historically, it has been proven that only those companies tend to survive the pressure of the corporate world that remain proactive and diligent towards their business missions and aims to survive till the last breath of the firm.

Organizational change is an important factor that can create the lifelong workplace dilemmas.

We will study the factors that have resulted in the issue and will throw light on some remedies that can take the firm two of the troubled situation.
