The document discusses various topics related to organizational change and culture, including: 1. It provides an overview of the "tools for change" that will be discussed in the current and next class, including changing managerial practices and employee practices. 2. It examines challenges and opportunities when changing an organization's culture, including how this relates to managerial practices, employee practices, and group structure versus individual change. 3. It outlines a three-phase model for culture-led change: separation from current practices to create a space for change, supplying a new identity and social experiences during the change process, and reintegration back into the organization with new informal networks and participation.
![What is this a case of?
Liminality is a conscious state of being
on the "threshold" of or between two
different existential planes
The liminal state is characterized by
ambiguity, openness, and indeterminacy.
Liminality and identity
One's sense of identity dissolves to some
extent, bringing about disorientation.
Liminality is a period of transition where
normal limits to thought, self-
understanding, and behavior are relaxed -
a situation which can lead to new
perspectives.[citations needed]](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/isugnewclass13-100201055512-phpapp02/85/IS-Undergrads-Class-13-9-320.jpg)
