Abstrakt: | Most attempts to implement organizational changes do not achieve desired outcomes. Although a linear implementation containing several steps is recommended, in reality changes interweave, overlap and blend. The aim of this paper is to examine how managers can improve their approach to implementing change, and at the same time deal with employees' resistance. The working hypothesis is that changes can be successfully implemented if management is familiar with the most typical reasons for failure and causes of resistance to it. Fifty Croatian managers from 25 business areas took part in a recent empirical online survey. The main reason for the change failure in their enterprises is the incompetence of change agents during implementation. The power of habit is the most important individual cause of resistance to change. We can conclude that prerequisites for successful change implementation are good preparation, equable willingness of all employees to accept change, and change managers' high level of professionalism and competence.
