Edwards Deming&nbsp;(1900 - 1993)</span></span></p><hr class="hidden"><p><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">In the ever-more competitive business world, organizations have to constantly review their practices and change / adapt accordingly to remain relevant and competitive in the market. However, businesses (and people) tend to find it challenging to adapt to change; it is certainly not very easy for most employees. However, when the rationale for change is presented with clearly and coherently, staff are more likely to accept and embrace the change in a positive manner.</span></p><div class="box"><p><strong>Change </strong>refers to the modification or transformation in the way business is conducted as a response to internal factors or external influences. Change arises when factors that influence the operations of an organization do not stay the same. It can often be disruptive and unsettling, so the process must be managed carefully.</p></div><p>Examples of change include: new product development, innovation, market development, product redesign, outsourcing, the product life cycle, organizational restructuring, relocation, external growth and crisis management. Yet without change, there is always the danger of complacency and there can be no progress without change.</p><p><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">As Professor W. Edwards Deming said, it is important for businesses to adapt to change if they are to survive. The external business environment (or the <a href="../44027/bmt-3-steeple-analysis.html" title="New syllabus (first teaching 2022) » Business Management Toolkit (BMT) » BMT 3 - STEEPLE analysis">STEEPLE analysis</a> factors) mean that forces of change require the attention of businesses and decision makers to adapt their practices. For example, competition, new technologies and evolving consumer habits and tastes lead successful organizations to adapt their objectives, strategies and business operations.</span></p><p><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Business success emerges from the willingness and ability to research and respond to signals in both the internal and external business environment in order to meet the ever-changing needs, wants and preferences of customers. Those that do not embrace and adapt to change simply fail to survive.</span></p><p><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">For example, in December 2020, after an extremely challenging year for all businesses due to the global coronavirus pandemic, IKEA stopped production and distribution of its physical catalogues. The home furniture retailer had used catalogues for 70 years prior to 2020, and opted for online catalogues instead as an increasing number of customers switched to e-commerce options.</span></p><p><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><img alt="" height="286" src="../../../ib/businessmanagement/images/change_2.jpg" width="288"></span></p><p><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color:#696969;"><em>Firms need to change in order to stay relevant</em></span></span></p><hr class="hidden"><div><div><div><div><div class="yellowBg"><div><h5><span style="color:#FF0000;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span class="snippet-fa fa fa-linode fa-lg" style="color: rgb(103, 7, 124);"> </span>&nbsp;ATL Activity 1 - Then and Now</span></span></h5><p><span style="color:#696969;"><em>&quot;You can&#39;t go back and change the beginning but you can start where you are and change the ending.&quot;</em><br>C.S.

In 2020, Netflix reported record sales revenues of over $25 billion due to the coronavirus pandemic causing more people to stay and work from home. This is equivalent to more than $68.49 million per day or in excess of $2.85 million per hour(!) At the start of 2021, Netflix had more than 200 million paid subscribers.</span></p></div></section></div><div><div class="yellowBg"><h5><span style="color:#FF0000;"><span class="snippet-fa fa fa-file-text-o fa-lg" style="color: rgb(103, 7, 124);"> </span>&nbsp;<span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Case Study 3 - Kodak</span></span></h5><p><span style="color:#696969;"><em>&ldquo;No matter how far you have gone on the wrong road, turn back.&rdquo;</em><br>- Turkish proverb</span></p><p><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">The Eastman Kodak Company (or Kodak for short) was established in 1888. During most of the 20th century, Kodak dominated the photographic film industry. However, the US company began to struggle financially in the late 1990s due to the decline in sales of photographic film and the company&#39;s lack of interest and investment in the digital photography industry (despite being the company that first developed the self-contained digital camera).</span></p><p><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">In January 2012, Kodak filed for bankruptcy protection in the United States. Shortly after, Kodak announced it would stop producing digital cameras, as it was unable to compete with the likes of Olympus, Sony and Samsung. Instead, the company chose to focus on the corporate digital imaging market where it held high market share.</span></p><p><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><img alt="" height="175" src="../../../ib/businessmanagement/images/kodak.jpg" width="280"></span></p><p><span style="color:#696969;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><em>The change from camera film to digital technology harmed Kodak&#39;s business</em></span></span></p></div><div class="yellowBg"><h5><span style="color:#FF0000;"><span class="snippet-fa fa fa-file-text-o fa-lg" style="color: rgb(103, 7, 124);"> </span>&nbsp;<span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Case Study 4 - IKEA discontinues its iconic catalogues</span></span></h5><div><p><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><img alt="" src="../../../ib/businessmanagement/images/ikea(1).jpg" style="width:280px;height:173px;"></span></p><p><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">In December 2020, IKEA, the world&rsquo;s largest furniture retailer, announced that it would stop printing and distributing its iconic catalogues. The publication reached a peak in 2016 when around 200 million copies were distributed in more than 50 countries - making the IKEA catalogue one of the world&#39;s biggest annual publications. The first edition of the IKEA catalogue was produced by IKEA&#39;s founder <span data-scayt-word="Ingvar" data-wsc-id="l11ez0p4n6siqacz4" data-wsc-lang="en_GB">Ingvar</span> <span data-scayt-word="Kamprad" data-wsc-id="l11ez0p2z85m1t0kd" data-wsc-lang="en_GB">Kamprad</span> back in 1951. With &#39;just&#39; 285,000 copies printed back then, the catalogue was distributed in southern Sweden, where the company was established. However, in keeping with the times, the last edition of the IKEA catalogue is to be printed in 2021, with 40 million copies. IKEA said that its online sales had increased by 45% worldwide during the year of the coronavirus pandemic.</span></p><p><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">IKEA catalogues have been a key part of the company&rsquo;s marketing strategy for 70 years. However, with innovations in e-commerce causing consumer habits to change the way they shop, IKEA has adapted its marketing strategy to become more focused on e-commerce.</span></p><p><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Watch this short video clip that reports on IKEA&rsquo;s decision to discontinue its iconic catalogue, as customers prefer to shop online instead.
