2189.0. "Seeking data about change management practices in Japan and Asia " by 3PLUS1::BOHANON () Fri Oct 30 1992 15:49

Hello,  

My name is Carlos Bohanon; node 3PLUS1::BOHANON.  I'm seeking data on change
management in the semiconductor industry.  I hope to benchmark attitudes toward
change in the semi industry.  I plan to look at the world's top ten semi 
companies as quoted by Data Quest.  I have seven variables which I will send out 
a survey within SCO, DEC's semi organization.  The survey is designed to look at 
SCO as it stands today and to examine it's attitudes toward change.  It is the 
attitude toward change that I'm most interested in.  

If anyone knows of any good data sources which can use as literature references
please send me a mail message and respond to this note.  Thanks.

2189.1	What will this information be used for?	SMAUG::GARROD	Floating on a wooden DECk chair	`Fri Oct 30 1992 16:37`	9
	Re .0 I'm curious. Once you've conducted this survey and gathered this information how will the information impact any decisions that will be made or not made. Dave
2189.2	Change Management (I thought we just did that!!)	NIKLUS::STENGEL		`Tue Nov 03 1992 19:42`	20
	Set mode/ attitude=humor/state=on I'd check with BP personally on this one....I think many managers are now becoming educated on how to change their attitudes.....among other things! It's called redesign of the supply chain! Set mode/ attitude= cooperative/state=in process As a member of SCO I would be willing to cooperate, with mgmt. advice and consent. My most recent contribution made on this topic was a CIM seminar in Osaka and Tokyo Japan. I discussed the impact of continuous improvement philosophy when used in the architecture and design of cell controller software and factory automation (in the semiconductor idustry). I think you might be comparing some very dissimilar environments. Change management would likely be handled differently from the shopfloor to the marketing organization. Also a difference in the perception of what is causing the change to take place can effect the control required to minimize negative consequences of a change.

	Hi Dave, I'm conducting this survey as part of a thesis for a master's program. I hope the information will point to trends in attitudes toward change. I hope that SCO will want to futher the study into analyzing business cycles and strategic planning. By looking at bc and sp, Hopefuly SCO will begin to better forecast their human resource needs required to meet and maintain world class competitiveness. The hope is to strategically as well as realisticlly design longevity into profitability and employment for both the company and the workforce.
