Abstract:
The story of the case A NEW DEVELOPMENT AT MINOTECH takes place in a medium sized company located in the Canadian province of Quebec having the main activity in the field of manufacture and repair of commercial and industrial equipment for the mining sector. Thus, the company Minotech decided to develop a new department of research and development in order to provide a "turnkey" service to their clients. This structural change, considered very good for the profitability of the company, arrived with a lot of discontent on the part of employees. Because of the existence of change flaws both in the design and implementation, some employees decided to leave the company to return later, and others didn’t stop to ask questions about the change impacts on themselves and the organization
