Abstract

The organizations which will survive and develop are those which better adapt to the environment, that is, those which best manage their strategies of change. However, it is frequently heard that there are enterprises in which failing actions for change were implemented and led the organization to instability. On the other hand, there are other interventions based in a negotiated change process, achieving better results.
The present essay analyses the concepts of variability and stable systems, identifying the factors which most influence change, and suggests actions for improving the development of organizations without altering stability, that is to say, achieving better results without losing statistical control.
The results showed that the factors which have most influence in the change process are the need for change, the need for not changing and the influence of barriers to change. Besides, for achieving change it is necessary to stimulate the need for it through a negotiated process to overcome the need for not changing. The influence of barriers to change must be diminished as much as possible because they can not be totally eliminated.
