Abstract

Organizational change is a topic that has been increasingly developed methodologically in the last seventy years after Kurt Lewin in the 1950s raised this topic under the Theory of Fields or Forces. This scientific article has the purpose of disseminating some results of the Research developed by the author around the Theory of Change. The research was developed with a semi-qualitative approach of a theoretical nature where the topic of organizational change has been discussed and how companies and organizations today fail to obtain good results in their change processes.

The results obtained and the conclusions corroborate the hypotheses by finding correlation between the variables studied, so we conclude that it is possible to create a general theory of change for organizations. Likewise, it has been possible to establish a general order of importance for change processes through the method. AHP and a new conceptual map on organizational change has been proposed.
