Along with the rapid change of the external environment, the privatization of state-owned banks is both a trend and the way to increase competition. When the environmental changes, the organizations will be merged or have to transform if the service provided are not competitive anymore or substituted by other service.

Soldatavgångar och det utvecklande ledarskapets betydelse : en studie av samband / Early attrition among conscripts and the importance of transformational leadership : a study on relationsKarlsson, Tommy January 2009 (has links)
Soldater som avbryter sin grundutbildning i förtid innebär onödiga kostnader och åtgärder för såväl organisationen som för de enskilda berörda. Försvarsmaktens mål är att avgångarna inte ska vara högre än 7 % av inryckande värnpliktiga. Målet har dock varit svårt att nå och för åren 2000-2005 ligger de genomsnittliga soldatavgångarna på cirka 13 %. Skillnaderna i avgångstal mellan olika förband är dock stora och den här undersökningen studerar om det kan bero på det ledarskap som praktiseras vid förbanden. Genom att mäta nivån avseende utvecklande ledarskap, vilken är Försvarsmaktens ledarskapsmodell, vid sex arméförband och sen koppla ihop den med storleken på deras soldatavgångar identifieras olika samband. Därigenom framgår också faktorer som är viktiga för att nå låga avgångar. Resultaten pekar mot att det finns samband mellan storleken på soldatavgångarna och nivån på det utvecklande ledarskap som tillämpas. Särskilt betydelsefullt för låga avgångar förefaller personlig omtanke vara. / Early attrition among conscripts is a problem both for the organization and for the individuals due to the costs and efforts that arise. The goal of the Swedish Armed Forces is that early attrition rates should not be higher than 7 % of personnel reporting for duty. Nevertheless the goal has been difficult to achieve and between the years of 2000 and 2005 the average early attrition rate has been approximately 13 %. The disparity between different units is significant and this study will examine whether this can be due to the leadership that is executed at the units. By measuring the level of transformational leadership, which is the model of leadership in the Swedish Armed Forces, at six different army units and then connect that level to their level of early attrition rates, different relations will be identified. By doing this, important factors to prevent early attrition will also occur. The results indicate that there are relations between early attrition rates and the level of the transformational leadership that is executed. Especially individualised consideration seems to be of outmost importance for low attrition rates.

Leda inkrementella förändringar i kommunalt respektive privat bolag : En jämförelse mellan användandet av det transformella ledarskapet i kommunala och privata bolagHols, Michael, Stark, Fredrik January 2013 (has links)
Problembakgrund: Men hänsyn till världens utveckling anses det av både forskare samt av ledare att förändring har en stor betydelse för organisationerna. Det gäller att ständigt kunna anpassa sig och följa omvärldens utveckling. Denna studie avser att studera transformellt ledarskap i samband med inkrementella förändringar då dessa anses ha en koppling till varandra. Syfte: Syftet med studien är att utforska hur ledare med hjälp av det transformella ledarskapet kan påverka en inkrementell förändring i kommunala och privata bolag för att finna eventuella likheter och skillnader mellan bolagsformerna. Problemformulering: Hur kan det transformella ledarskapet påverka inkrementella förändringar i kommunala och privata bolag? Teori: Teorin i denna studie behandlar tranformellt ledarskap tillsammans med inkrementella förändringar i kommunala och privata bolag. Det transformella ledarskapet består av fyra delar, intellektuell stimulans, inspirerande motivation, individuellt hänsynstagande samt idealt inflytande. Den inkrementella förändringen är en förändring där en organisation hanterar ett problem samt ett mål i taget dvs. en steg för steg-förändring som är ständigt pågående som berör organisationens operativa processer. Metod: Detta är en kvalitativ fallstudie som jämför hur det transformellt ledarskap kan påverka inkrementella förändringar i två olika bolagsformer. Den kvalitativa ansatsen har genomförts med hjälp av intervjuer. Studien har en deduktiv ansats. Empiri: Respondenterna är ledare från fyra olika bolag, två privata och två kommunala. Vi har intervjuat två verkställande direktörer, en förvaltningschef, en områdeschef samt en produktions- och logistik ansvarig. De har alla ledande befattningar samt har erfarenhet av inkrementell förändring. Analys och slutsats: Vi har inte kunnat tyda på några stora tydliga mönster för transformellt ledarskap under inkrementell förändring för var och en av bolagsformerna. Det vi kommit fram till i studien är främst att ledarna på de kommunala bolagen måste ständig anpassa sitt transformella ledarskap i den inkrementella förändringen utifrån kommunens särskilda mål, vilket inte alltid betyder det bästa för bolaget i sig. Ledarna på de privata bolagen har en större frihet i sitt transformella ledarskap och kan se till bolagets bästa när det kommer till att leda inkrementella förändringar. Likheterna och skillnaderna är lika stora mellan t ex två ledare på kommunala bolag som två ledare på privata bolag. Bolagsformerna har viss men inte någon större inverkan på ledarens transformella ledarskap, ledarens personlig har en större inverkan. / Background: It’s considered by both researchers and leaders that changes in organizations have a significant impact in the organizations well being. The organizations constantly need to adapt to the developing context. This study intends to study transformational leadership in the context of incremental change because these seem to be linked to each other. Purpose: The purpose of this study is to explore how leaders using the transformational leaderships can affect an incremental change in both municipal- and private companies in order to identify possible similarities and differences between the two types of companies. Problem statement: How can the transformational leadership influence incremental changes in municipal- and private companies? Theory: The theory in this study deals with transformational leadership in incremental changes in municipal and private companies. The transformational leadership consists of four parts, intellectual stimulation, inspirational motivation, individual consideration and idealized influence. The incremental change is a change where an organization handles one problem and one objective at a time, ie. a step-by-step change that is ongoing concerning the organization's operational processes. Method: This is a case study where we have conducted a qualitative and deductive approach. We have collected the empirical data by interviewing our respondents. Empirical: The respondents are five leaders on four different companies. There are two respondents from the same company. The companies are two municipal- and two private companies. We have interviewed two managing directors, one manager of administration, one manager of a field and one manager of production and logistics. They all have a leading position in the organization and they all have experience of an incremental change. Analysis and conclusions: Primarily we concluded that the leaders in the municipal companies constantly must adapt their transformational leadership in the incremental change according to the specific municipality objectives, which does not always mean the best for the company itself. The leaders in the private companies have more independence in their transformational leadership and can focus on the company's best when it comes to leading incremental changes. The similarities and differences are equal between for example two leaders in municipal companies as two leaders in private companies. The company types does not have as much impact on the leaders transformational leadership as the impact that the personality has.

Coping with Resistance to Change in OrganizationsToribio Toribio, Carlos, García Hernández, Raúl January 2011 (has links)
Globalization, new technologies, culture shifts are some of the factors contributing to the fast-moving environment where organizations develop their activities. As a consequence, organizations have to change more frequently in response to the environment. The ability to manage change effectively has become crucial. However, recent research shows that 2 out of 3 change initiatives fail. Resistance to change is often cited as a main factor contributing to these failures. Based on that we decided to analyze the concept of resistance, its sources and what can be done to cope with it. After reviewing the literature we found that most researchers consider it as an obstacle; however, we also found that resistance can offer benefits to the change process, such as addressing possible weaknesses or serving as a source of innovation. We described a model to diagnose resistance based on the equity theory with an empirical illustration included. In addition, to manage resistance properly we found that communication and participation are two methods that target numerous sources of resistance and make possible to harness its benefits. Finally, we described the attributes of transformational leaders linking them to a specific example of the sports field to show the effective role that this leadership style has in terms of bringing changes to organizations and managing resistance.

The Interrelationship ofthe Market-Driving Approachand the Organizational Culture : A qualitative study of the market-driving companiesGansuwan, Phansamon, Siribunluechai, Athipa January 2011 (has links)
Thee market-driving approach has been cited by several business academic scholars (Jaworski,Kohli, & Sahay, 2000; Carpenter, Glazer, & Nakamoto, 2000; Kumar, Scheer, & Kotler, 2000;Harris & Cai, 2002; Hills & Sarin, 2003; Carrillat, Jaramillo, & Locander, 2004; Schindehutte,Morris, & Kocak, 2008) as a significant approach of the market-oriented company that canprovide a sustainable competitive advantage. Moreover, the organizational cultures developed bythe transformational leadership behavioral style are likely to play an important role in themarket-driving approach (Carrillat et al., 2004). Hence, it is necessary for the market-orientedfirm to understand the interrelationship between these two elements in order to develop asuccessful competitive position in the long-run.The main purpose of our thesis is to create a framework for understanding the interrelationshipbetween the market-driving approach and the organizational culture, which is applicable for amarket-oriented firm. To achieve this objective, we have to identify the types of organizationalcultures and leadership behavioral styles, which are occupied in a market-driving company.Furthermore, we also have to define the relationship between the market-driving approach andthe organizational culture; whether the market-driving approach or the organizational culture isthe origin of effect to the other.To answer our research question, a qualitative approach was applied by conducting semistructuredinterviews with two case studies, which are well-known market-driving companiesoperating in Thailand, IKEA Thailand and Land and Houses. We scope the area of study only inThailand according to our ability of understanding, analyze and access the sources of informationregarding Thai companies.From the research findings, both IKEA and Land and Houses share a similarity of theirorganizational culture, adhocracy and market cultures, and their leadership behavioral style,transformational leaderships. The relationship between the organizational culture and the marketdrivingapproach within these two companies reveals only one direction; their organizationalcultures led by transformational leadership stimulate their market-driving approach. Moreover,we also found that transformational leadership itself can directly generate the market-drivingapproach.Hence, this result provided us with a new conceptual framework that indicates thetransformational leadership as the main factor, which directly and indirectly develops themarket-driving approach.

Student Preferences for Academic Advisors as Transformational LeadersDrozd, Deborah Suzanne 2010 December 1900 (has links)
A quantitative study was conducted to determine the preferences of undergraduate students for academic advisors as transformational leaders. A questionnaire was developed and distributed to undergraduate students enrolled in leadership classes at a major land grant university to determine importance ratings based on the variables including non-traditional and traditional students’ ages, classification, gender, number of times advised, number of visits to an academic advisor, membership in a collegiate military organization and athletics, and current leadership activities. Results indicated that undergraduate students preferred their academic advisors to use transformational leadership activities. There was no significant difference in the degree of preference of transformational leadership in their academic advisor based on gender, participation in athletics, traditional and non-traditional ages, classification, membership in a military organization and participation in a leadership position or number of times advised. However, inadequate representation of all groups within the number of times advised category prevented a comparative analysis. As a result of this study, a leadership education workshop was developed as a component for academic advisor training, academic advising activities were identified that corresponded to transformational leadership constructs and similarities were found between the developmental advising model and transformational leadership.
