title = {The Dynamics of Change in a Privatised Polish State Owned Enterprise},
year = {1999},
note = {The move from a command to a market led economy in Poland has resulted
in extensive political, economic and social change. Western
multinational companies drive change in Eastern Europe and when Polish
state owned enterprises are acquired by western multinationals this
change process is accelerated. This paper explores the human resource
management (HRM) issues arising from the acquisition of a Polish state
owned enterprise by a western multinational and focuses on the use of
four principal mechanisms to stimulate change namely, organisational
re-structuring, the use of 'change agents', the re-deployment of key
people and the dissemination of new cultural values and norms. It
considers how these mechanisms have been used in the process of
enabling the organisation to adapt to a changed environment and
discusses the varying perceptions of those involved in the change
process.},
