Abstract

The study was done to look into different organizational change models and leadership behaviours in the change process. The case of poultry cooperatives of Jharkhand India was studied to look into the aspects of initiating and managing the organizational change process. A mixed approach of literature review and mapping behavioural aspects through unstructured interviews with the group of leaders and managers was done. The exploratory study helped find the crucial behaviours and role play by the governing board members and managers of the case cooperatives in organizational change management. Further research is needed to establish the leader’s behavioural contribution in collective enterprises run by the rural community of India. The study provides ample opportunity to do a detailed study of the subject matter.
