Our</p><p>research method is quantitative and qualitative where a survey and</p><p>six interviews were done to collect the empirical data as well as</p><p>personal research through secondary sources. Thus, the types of</p><p>data used are primary and secondary. Our data sources are</p><p>documentations, archival records and interviews.</p><p>Empirical data:</p><p>Our empirical data was gathered in IKEA of Sweden (IoS) which</p><p>is one of the companies under the IKEA conglomerate. This office</p><p>is located in Älmhult Sweden.</p><p>Analysis and Conclusion:</p><p>Organizations of today do operate in a dynamic era where</p><p>strategies should be flexible to the changing times, so with their</p><p>implementers! If IoS should continue to be a part of the successful</p><p>actors in this arena, good leadership qualities should be secured.</p><p>Exertion of position-power should be meticulously applied with</p><p>good communication of the change visions as one of the primary</p><p>focus in order to abate if not eliminate possible blockages such as</p><p>resistance, thus, making use of power to their advantages instead</p><p>of the opposite! For other change agents, a careful consideration of</p><p>the surrounding aspects of change management within their</p><p>contexts should be done in order to arrive at effective strategies</p><p>that are not only planned but also actualized.</p>
