Abstract: Abstract The last two decades of the twentieth century have been a period of significant organizational change within companies operating in Europe, North America and the Asia-Pacific region (Callus et al., 1991; Bamber and Lansbury, 1993; Patrickson et al., 1995; Patrickson and Obrien, 2000). Management strategies have had to be re-evaluated in order to implement the reforms necessary to enable firms to deal successfully with the factors responsible for inducing change. Those factors include trends towards: more international trade, increasing competition and the globalization of economic units; increasing technological change in both processes and products; deregulation and privatization; greater participation in decision-making by stakeholders together with a rise in the influence of non-traditional stakeholders such as women, governments or consumers; gender equality in career opportunities; and fluctuations in exchange rates, stockmarket crashes and economic recessions.
