first requirement for managing change is to understand the force-External and Internal of change.<br />
One of the manager’s responsibilities is to identify areas where there is a need for change and to<br />
develop change alternatives. Manager at the same time equally need to recognize the need for<br />

balance the demands of change and stability in work environment. The manager must recognize<br />
