Unit 4 Small Business Enterprise – Shine Communication 4.1 Report on the impact of the proposed changes on the business and its personnel Changes in any business activities impact the overall functioning of the organization. The impact of changes could be positive or negative. Changes affect the culture, environment and development aspects of the business. Changes, if positive can help the organization in gaining competitive advantage & success whereas the negative changes could damage the entire business and its reputation (Paton & McCalman, 2008). Few changes have been anticipated in respect to shine Communication:
Work load/pressure: It is obvious that along with the expansion, the work load will increase. The 50 employees of Shine Communication are already equipped with various tasks hence; they won’t be able to handle more pressure. In order to share the
workload new employees will be hired.
Finance: the changes have two sided effect on the finance. If the changes are proved to be successful, then the financial position of the company will be stronger but if the expansion plans fails, then the existing financial structure will be adversely affected. Finance is the ultimate requirement to carry out each and every activity of the business. Hence, the changes will impact the finance of Shine Communications.
Morale: with the joining of new employees, the existing employees may get insecure as their responsibilities and authority will be shared with the new joiners. But the team spirit and team relations in Shine Communication have always been very strong and encouraging hence; it will not affect the morale of the existing employees or personnel.
