Managing change.

Abstract

The purpose of this master’s thesis is to show how a change process can be compassed on the account of an organizational change. Hence a suitable scope of research for this thesis is a case study of the construction sector’s need for change. The aim is to investigate and discuss the construction sector’s change processes and to give recommendations on how the change process from traditional to industrial construction processes could be carried out. The study is based on both primary and secondary data acquired from literature studies and interviews. The conclusion of this study is that the construction sector has succeeded in identifying a need for change as well as the reasons for it. Although, the construction sector have succeeded in carrying out the first three steps in a change process properly, the sector must put more effort into the remaining parts of the change process as there is no distinct continuance of the change process towards industrial construction.
