Change is an inevitable fact of life from birth to death, affecting cultures, countries, and societies. Especially today, change is happening faster than in the past, and this causes societies and organizations to face much more change than they need to keep up with. Organizations can only survive if they change themselves by adapting to these rapid changes. In this study, definitions of organizational change were given, and the factors that cause organizational change were described. Then, the theories of change were mentioned depending on the reason for the change and the changes it brings about in the organization. Then, resistance to change, management of organizational change, organizational development and organizational behavior were examined.
