Synopsis- It is normally assumed that participation in the strategic change process will have a positive effect on the decision quality. But this assumption has not been researched on. This article is about the research conducted and data collected from a national telecommunication firm in order to assess the outcomes of participation in strategic change.

Critique- the author has done a thorough research for a proper understanding from the data collected and then formed five hypotheses. He has further tested each of these hypotheses and analyzed their relation to each variable and come up with a positive relationship between participation and the successful implementation of strategic change.

My Reflection- what can be understood from this article is that, change is always difficult to accept and go along with; nobody would like a change to occur to the normal orderly scenario. But what the author is trying to make us understand is that resisting change does not make matters any simpler, infact it only complicates it more. The better idea would be to accept the change, understand the need for it and imbibe it into the regular cycle. This would definitely bring a better and positive result at the end of the day.
