Leadership

Preliminary and exploratory phase: We reviewed a wide range of literature in the form of academic
articles in electronic data bases about change management and innovation broadly. Those searches
helped us in identifying the links between the leadership qualities and organizational change, which
further helped us in refining and narrowing down our topic and research question. The main themes
identified in academic articles were certain leadership qualities resulting in change and innovative
strategies. We tried to search for some real cases during that time as well where the visionary and
innovative practices have lead to successful outcomes. Our interest was more towards the
developing countries firms experiences due to the reason that socio political environment of
developing countries doesn’t facilitate vision based innovative ideas and practices. We also wanted
to see the applicability of the concepts and models used in the Western context to the developing
countries context. Besides we conduct a few telephonic interviews with people with relevant
background to identify the critical factors of phenomenon. In formally we tried to know about the
phenomenon through chartrooms of MSN/YAHOO/SKYPE. Due to the reason that managing
organizational change itself is a broad phenomenon and is defined differently in various settings, we
have to conduct this preliminary and exploratory research.
