| Abstract: | This two-part article describes the restructuring of the European operations of the 3M Company in 1992. The restructuring was undertaken to more effectively deal with its Pan-European customers by changing from a country- orientated organization to one based on product lines. This second part, Implementing the Change, explains how the European managers, in 1993, designed the organization, determined how the process should proceed, and decided who should fill the different positions created. It describes how they managed the transformation - including a detailing of the problems, triumphs and surprises encountered. While the articles collectively provide insight as to how apparently successful transformation took place, a key benefit of studying the transition is to generate an under- standing of how this entrepreneurial organization functions. |
