As competition within the business community increases, the organizations that do not want internal change begin to disappear. Change can be a frightening experience in business, but it can also be intimidating. Companies who have seen success in the past are not as willing to change. These organizations feel if they can keep on doing the same things they have done in the past, they can continue to be successful. Unfortunately this business philosophy is not always true. There have been many companies that have been extremely successful in the beginning and stayed successful for many years. However, as the culture of business began to change and the necessity for the management to change, these companies did not and, in the end, failed. This happens because the vision, goals and mission of the organization did not allow these changes to happen. The importance for these aspects of the organization to allow change is extremely important, because without it, companies will grow stagnant and in the end, disappear.
