Strong company culture

Every company has its very own kind of culture cultivated from the very beginning of its origins. It is unique to every company and depending on that culture, the companies can be more resistant to change or less. If the culture of the company is incredibly strong, any kind of change will be met with opposition. No one wants to change such a good thing they have going and disrupt what they have.

Company structure becomes inflexible

The inflexibility of the company’s structure is one of the reasons changes are necessary. If the structure of a company becomes too stiff and unyielding, employees will feel too restricted and uncomfortable. However, it’s the structure everyone is comfortable with. It has been this way since the beginning, these employees have to report to those managers who have to speak to these higher-ups. This department only works with that department, etc. The more inflexible the structure is the harder it is to accept change smoothly.

Change can be costly

Sometimes, companies are resistant to change not because they don’t want to, but simply because they cannot afford it. If a company has put money into reaching an objective, it will be a lot harder to forget about the previous objective and invest in the goal of changing the organization. Not wanting to lose a lot of money for the benefit of changing is a big reason why many companies resist change.
