Strategies to Implement Organizational Changes in Middle East and North Africa

Grounded in Kotter’s 8-step change model, the purpose of this qualitative multiple case study was to explore strategies used by business leaders to implement organizational change initiatives successfully. A purposeful sample of 10 business leaders based in the region of the Middle East and North Africa participated in the study. Six themes emerged: formal and informal communication, employees’ engagement, the right leadership style, a cohesive culture, the proper tools and training, and the execution speed. Potential social change impact includes reduced employee job loss, more opportunities for increased employment, a potential increase of incomes, and local economic improvement.
