Differentiate between radical organizational change and incremental organizational change.

Radical change occurs when organizations make major adjustments in the ways they do business. Radical change is relatively infrequent and takes a long time to complete. Radical change is undertaken intentionally, often requiring huge investments in planning and implementation. Radical change is an organizational "big bang" affecting all key stakeholders. Incremental change is an ongoing process of evolution in which many small changes occur routinely. The cumulative effect of these changes may transform the organization. Incremental change is important in TQM and in the learning organization, being an aspect of continuous improvement.
