Management and changes

Each level of management faces change in a different way.

TOP-LEVEL MANAGERS
Top-level managers are involved in change in terms of the organization as a whole.
Top-level managers are likely to be involved in changes of strategy, structure, and process.

MIDDLE-LEVEL MANAGERS
Middle managers are likely to face structural, process-oriented, or people-centered changes, though they may well have some input into decisions about strategic change.
To achieve greater efficiency or higher quality, they may reorganize staff or work flow.

FIST-LINE MANAGERS
First-line managers institute process-oriented and people-centered change.
They are the managers who implement all types of changes developed higher in the hierarchy because they come into close contact with their employees, it is especially important for these managers to understand how to manage change.
