This paper underlines the importance of understanding the company as a continuous changing system and highlights the efficient influence that an appropriate managing system may have on the technological trend. Under these premises of the enterprise seen as a continuous changing system, the change management gained additional attention in research and practice, due to the vast and various changes that occur on a systems' integrity because of the accelerated technological development. Due to the coexistence of the technical and the managerial area present in the systems of a company, some fundamental aspects of the change management process in system engineering are to be brought into discussion. Whenever a system is designed or a system is being modified, the understanding of change manage...

The concept relies on the manner in which corporate entities within a company tend to replicate themselves and their characteristics from the micro (working cell) level through to the (macro) corporate enterprise. This work presents an overview on the fractal company as a way of organizational existence and discusses concepts like enterprise structures, fractals and chaos theory.

The approach to sustainable development through change management is motivated from the fundamental function of an enterprise: making profit. In this case, prosperity is very important from the point of view of the shareholders. Sustainability means in this context the capacity of generating financial value for an undetermined period. The change management techniques and tools contribute to this function through streamlining the detection of a change in the enterprise structure or in the internal or external flows. In the context of sustainable development, the concept of social responsibility is discussed and the importance of ethical and social standards is highlighted. The main topic is about how change management creates a framework for a system for monitoring, comparing and prognosticating the enterprise flows, easing the management actions and contributing to compet...

Change management deviates from traditional projects management in the way that it is more about people. Higher efficiency comes from inner-energy, self motivation and complete understanding for the entire process. There isn't a single solution for making the change happen that is why the processes supporting the change are complex, implying the variables of the human typologies.
