Change in Indian Railways: The Strategic HR Model Perspectives

While dealing with change, most organizations rely on change management philosophies as well as change management models. To initiate a change, organizations make assumptions, trust their beliefs, and implement various theoretical approaches. These various elements are called the 'philosophy of organizational change, ' like a tool kit for an organization. This paper attempts to describe these changes using a few well-known management philosophies. Since change is not an abrupt one-time event, it is more appropriate to consider it as a continuous event. The study has adopted change philosophies viz.; Rational, Resource, Institutional, and Psychological, and considered change management models viz. ; Kurt Lewin's Three-stage Model, Force Field Analysis, and Kotter's 8-step Model.
