Carbonite is a fast-growing manufacturing company. Mr. Dalip Khanna is the supervisor of a warehouse where unskilled workers‘are working. A few months back, the management had decided to install the new. merchandised material handling equipment to reduce costs. Before installing the new equipment, Mr. Khanna made a lot of efforts to introduce the change by involving all the workers in it, since the workers lacked training and knowledge about productivity and cost reduction effects of this equipment. Ultimately, the new equipment was installed with the active cooperation of the workers. A few months afterwards, the company decided to install a sophisticated fixture in the electronic assembly department among a group of technical workers. Considering Mr. Khanna’s success in the previous change, this job was also assigned to him. Mr. Khanna did not expect any opposition since the group consisted of educated employees who were in a better position'to understand. Accordingly, he didn’t make much effort introducing the new equipment which he had done in the past. The result was beyond anybody’s imagination. The group resisted tooth and nail the introduction of the new system until it was given up. The mistake proved very costly to Mr. Khanna and he lost the job.

Questions :

1. What, in your opinion, Mr. Khanna would have done to avoid resistance by the technical group to the proposed change?
2. How do you explain the behavior of the two groups in accepting or rejecting the change contemplated by the management?
