Figure 2. The main sources of resistance to change by employees Without specifically insist further explained briefly what is each potential source of resistance to change:

Organizational change always causes changes in different proportions in employee tasks and how to do. In situations where employees do not have the knowledge to achieve them

it is likely that these changes seek to avoid or to reduce as much. disrputions on networking system Disruption of the person within the organization.

Each employee is integrated in a micro office in the organization, being in some work and personal relationships with other people.

When the employee is satisfied with it, and the change will affect the relational context and position within it,

The employees who develop different perceptions of the objectives content, implications and effects of change,

Employees who fall into this category-Quantitative Methods Inquires 109 and they are not few-will always tend to block change,

perceived by employees and other stakeholders, their resistance to change will be more intense. lack of leadership.

employees will manifest insufficient responsiveness, passivity and even resistance to expected changes. The leader is a driving force for successful change. organisational culture.

team spirit, obtaining performance from employees will induce a favorable attitude change, thus diminishing the explicit and implicit resistance to change.

and therefore it is likely that employees feel vulnerable in several respects (risk taking, committing mistakes,

The 2013 EU SURVEY on R&D Investment Business Trends.pdf

European commission JRC-IPTS (2013) Similar to our previous surveys, the companies in the sample were on average very large, with an average turnover of €16 billion, 33,000 employees,

and 1, 800 employees in R&d. Among the respondents, there are 8 medium-sized companies mainly in the high R&d intensity sectors.

Out of the large companies in the sample, 56 had between 251 and 5, 000 employees, 64 between 5, 000 and 30,000 employees and 44 more than 30,000 employees.

Average turnover and employee numbers for the responding companies, by sector group Note: The figure refers to 153 out of the 172 companies in the sample.

European commission JRC-IPTS (2013) The average net sales and employee numbers in the figure are inversely proportional to the R&d intensity of the sector group.

The average number of R&d employees is considerably larger in the high and medium than in the low R&d intensity sector.

This is the result of the high share of R&d employees in large companies that responded from technology, hardware & equipment and pharmaceuticals & biotechnology (high R&d intensity), automobiles & parts, industrial engineering,

33,000 employees, and 1, 800 employees in R&d. Among the 172 respondents there were 8 medium-sized companies mainly in the high R&d intensity sectors (according to the European commission's SME definition,

since imposing changes would not have a good impact on employees performance; therefore, careful change management techniques should be applied in such a situation in order to ease the new changes.

The opposition of the employees needs to be addressed and carefully dealt with, which can be achieved by examining the reasons for the resistance and dealing with them such as the fear from more work and more responsibility 15.

In other words, managing changes requires more effective communications and employee development which can be achieved by additional training 16.

on the one hand, enhancing collaborative relationships among employees, creating new spaces for knowledge and information sharing; on the other hand, opening the boundary of a company through the involvement of external stakeholders and users, likewise.

As a consequence, Nokia's employees were able to enhance their capabilities in sharing and finding useful information through social media, opening new conversations about strategically or relevant arguments.

Also, it is normal to see employees using their own technological devices at work, and blurring the lines between personal machines and work-focused ones.

since employees can take them anywhere and access any variety of content, e g.,, from the‘‘cloud''they subscribe to. 1 Based on the previous examples and explanations,

as employees will be more mobile and will use own devices and services. This can lead to a better customer satisfaction as well as its corresponding financial benefits 8. Organizations that see IT consumerization as an opportunity to create a comprehensive strategy

since that consumerization of IT has been started originally by having employees bringing their own devices to the business,

and achieve a better retention of employees by offering them job satisfaction and the freedom to unfold their creativity for the benefit of the business and their customers.

and collaboration initiative at the staff, enhance the employees ability to work in virtual teams,

which would help employees to increase online interaction and online data access, while using approved applications deployed via the company's own app server.

and Risks of the Consumerization of IT The increasing number of employees'private devices used in workplace is presenting a challenge for the managers 10.

according to this analysis, many of the issues that are related 2 Chapter 7 discusses these issues as challenges to digital business identity. 92 5 IT Consumerization to this topic are based on the fact that the devices that the employees are using are not suitable

and Adopt the User Perspective Today's employees are more technically capable to find their own ways to use their own devices in order for them to be more productive at work environment such as downloading,

if an employee knows he she may later need access to a file created on his her work computer,

and the countless number of employees using consumerized devices. These devices form IT challenges for the IT departments

Support Employee Owned Devices In its report about IT consumerization 14, Intel has provided a set of best practices (see Fig. 5. 2) for supporting employee-owned devices in the enterprise.

This covers employees from human resources and legal to IT, corporate services, and most importantly, end users. This is an ideal opportunity to define all the components of the BYOD program 14.2.

the decision makers in the business need to develop a security model for employee-owned devices.

5. 2 Best practices for supporting employees'owned devices. Adapted from 14 98 5 IT Consumerization According to 15 the All-star, Road warrior,

By providing communication and social platforms capabilities through web-based apps, employees can be productive regardless of

while sharing documents on the screen with other employees at the company. 5. 4. 3 Bring Your Own Device for Vendors An independent contractor for several construction companies can controls his her own schedule while working

The key concerns about these strategies as well as the technologies that address the raised issues are explained in the following sub-sections. 5. 5. 1 Going Mobile Strategy Many of the nowadays employees are exploring this strategy.

This approach brings in popular user choices in scenario-driven ways to provide employees with the fashionable devices they seek that also enhance their productivity.

and resources 16.5.5.4 Bring Your Own Device BYOD Strategy This strategy encourages talented employees and contractors,

attracting and retaining valuable employees 16. These motivational reasons are explained in the following points, according to 16:

When employees are away from their desks, devices that provide access to information related to work can increase their collaboration and productivity 9,

IT employees will be relieved when the retail channels and users become responsible for obtaining and supporting their own mobile devices.

Attracting and retaining valuable employees. Providing employees with a controlled freedom of information access would encourage best employees to stay at the firm

and would attract and retain valuable employees as important assets of the enterprise. As a result, enterprise human resources departments are moving toward rich consumerization of IT environments to improve workplace satisfaction 16.5.7 Considerations Related to IT Consumerization The consumerization of IT is unrestricted not an strategy,

nor appropriate in all environments, because many devices are not secure enough. Also, legal considerations with regard to licensing, security,

as a consequence, employees expect and demand more freedom at work environment. They want to have instant access to the types of applications that would help them to be more communicative in their personal life.

However, at work places, 56%of employers do not allow access to non-work related resources or websites and 63%ban their employees from saving personal data and files on company's computers.

Such circumstances can be applied particularly to the case of young employees since this category of workers expects to have access to the same technologies at work that they are familiar with in their life as consumers.

Yammer can enable companies to offer their employees functionalities that are similar to Facebook and Twitter and at the same time to work in accordance to the security standards of the enterprise firewall and can be integrated with other systems at the enterprise that are managed by a company's own IT department.

The employees who use Yammer can set up user profiles, send and receive‘‘tweets''like messages,

and employees are already bringing to work such as tablets and smartphones. Moreover, with its one-X software for smart phones, Avaya also allows its employees to make the mobile phone acts as an extension of the corporate network.

That means employees can transfer calls from their desk to their mobile phones as they are leaving their offices

or take a call on their mobile while they are on their way into the office

since the company has realized that the employees will use their own devices at the workplace,

including its contractors and employees in joint ventures, likewise. Shell's Airwatch MDM platform supports around 6, 000 individual devices.

It provides support to any employee-owned Apple and Android phones, and tablets that meet its minimum operating system requirements.

and support employees own devices. References 1. Nunziata S (2011) The consumerization of IT. CIO Insight

IT leaders can address those challenges by encouraging and supporting employees who work for them to move beyond institutional boundaries,

or employees, these organizations use social collaboration tools to improve efficiency, solve problems, create opportunities, boost productivity,

In particular, the Chapter has shown that the decision makers need to develop security models for employee-owned devices

''and understood by employees in order to be transmitted effectively to people in the outer context of the organization,
