Abstract
Change in management is a need for business organizations to remain competitive in the business. Change in the society, internal and external environment makes a business organization adapt to the demand of the society at that time. Managers review the socioeconomic condition, cultural change, customer demand and adapt to the new environment by bringing change to the organizational culture to meet the demand of its customers. It requires planning on how the change can be implemented as people usually do not like to come out of their comfort zone. That is why senior managers analyse the need of the organization, plan for the change, introduce the change slowly and monitor the progress to institutionalize the change in the management of the business organization for a sustainable business growth.

Introduction
Business organizations go through stages of stress and uncertainty as our society is ever changing in terms of socioeconomic condition, ethics, awareness, technological advancement et cetera. Organizations are therefore required to respond to the changed demand of its customers. The response of the organization may be in the form of adapting to the advanced technological advancement, improving employee work skills through training for better customer service, or may be by changing business practices to comply with evolving ethical business practices (Bartol et. al. 2011).
