Abstract (De)
Die empirische Forschung hat sich fast nicht mit der Frage nach den Erfolgsfaktoren von Projekten der organisatorischen Veränderung befasst. Um diese Lücke zu schliessen, wurde eine exploratorische Studie mit einer Erhebung bei neun Grossunternehmen durchgeführt. Aufgrund der Datenanalyse wurden die für den Projekterfolg massgeblichen Faktoren eruiert. Es handelt sich dabei um das Engagement der Entscheidungsträger, die sachliche Ausrichtung der Entscheidungen, die Klarheit der Ziele, Partizipation der Betroffenen und einen ganzheitlichen Ansatz der Projektrealisierung. Diese Ergebnisse wurden in den Tests bestätigt, sind also als robust zu betrachten.
Empirical Research has hardly dealt with the question of success factors in organizational change. To close that gap, we have used the data from a survey on change projects carried out in eight large cor-porations. Interviewees were the project managers and additional project staff in organizational change projects. By means of statistical analysis we discerned factors which crucially influence the success of such projects. A number of factors are distinctive for their strong influence on project suc-cess: Commitment of decision makers, focus of decisions (content as opposed to expressed interest), clearness of goals, participation, and a holistic approach to project management. Additional analyses were carried out to examine if these results held. This procedure triggered further insights, for exam-ple about varying degrees of influence from certain factors. We have not been able to falsify the initial results; on the contrary, they have gained in durability through the additional analyses. Therefore they can be considered as robust.
