Julia Balogun and Veronica Hope-Hailey identify four general types of strategic change. The two axes in the figure above:
Horizontal axis – related to the degree of change, i.e. the desired end result; vertical axis – related to the nature of the change process, especially the speed close.
In terms of degree of change (horizontal axis), changes in line with current business models and culture are considered strategic realignments (realignment). A broader change that goes beyond the current business model or culture is transformational change.
We need to think about whether the change requires a major reconfiguration of the value chain, major changes to the activities that underpin strategic capabilities. Or a major cultural change? However, caution is required when considering the importance of the new strategy to the level of change required. For example, Businesses can launch new products without making fundamental changes to the organization’s business model or culture. On the other hand, strategically some changes, even if they don’t take the form of drastic product changes, may require a cultural change. For example, from the manufacturer
A shift in production focus to a customer-led service ethos may not require major product changes, but it may

Cultural change.
On the vertical axis of the graph above, the nature of the change is related to how fast the change needs to happen. It can be said that change in an organization is usually gradual
Incremental because it allows time to build on the skills, routines and beliefs of the people in the organization. it also allows learning with change, enabling adjustments based on experience. However, if an organization faces a crisis or needs To change direction quickly, a ‘big bang’ approach to change may be required.
At this point, it is not difficult to find that the change management method for enterprises to maintain their competitiveness by changing their business lines is to rebuild or transform.
