Abstract

Change is the only constant in everyday life and organizations have to identify different ways to improve their activities and remain competitive on the market, performing certain types of changes in order to do so. The purpose of this paper is to present how managers from the Romanian small and medium sized enterprises perceive the need for change and its opportunity and how often are they initiating a change process, pointing out the main reasons behind their decision to change. The study was conducted on many SME`s from the western side of Romania, applying an interview in order to see how important is change for the Romanian managers.
