Throughout the duration of this essay, I will begin with exploring the idea and concept of postmodernism, and then move on to depict and evaluate these claims made by post-modernists in more depth.

When you break down what a manager means to a business. The manager is so much more than just a manager, their the educator, planner, analyzer, resource and whatever else the company needs to move forward. Whether it’s Amazon, GE or the NBA a manager takes advantage of market inefficiencies or finds previously undiscovered niches. Managers that can take advantage of these findings take on the characteristics of entrepreneurs, however, they are not entrepreneurs because they work to redirect the inputs of existing companies rather than create new forms of product.

However, our current interest lies with change happening on the scale of an organization. Different characterizations have been proposed over the years for organizational change, due to the fact that a clear definition was needed to distinguish it from the simple study of organizations. Such a definition would indicate that organizational change is a shift from a present state of organization to a future state over a given period of time (Beckhard and Harris, 1987). It would also include the size and magnitude of change that occurred (Dunphy and Stace, 1990) and also whether the change has taken place through a single radical metamorphosis or progressively over a longer stretch of time (Quinn, 1980). Sony has gone through a series of different changes since June 2005, under the direction of Howard Stringer.
