Abstract
Dealing with change and change management is treated in this chapter as a potential key HR topic. The main question here is what is to be understood by the word “change” in a hierarchical, stable context on the one hand and in an agile, connected environment on the other. It becomes clear that the classical understanding of “change” as a strategic, unique, top-down driven change is increasingly becoming more diffuse in agile worlds. The practical relevance of change management in this context is correspondingly different.

Shopfloor management is an approach in which employees discuss continuous improvement and current day-to-day issues directly at the point of value creation, for example in the shop floor, in short cycles (cf. Suzaki 1993).
