The main objective of the thesis is to analyze change and its management in former Industry Solutions division, today a standalone company (The Company), which took place during its carve-out from The Corporation. In the Case study, the author applies concepts and frameworks from the Methodology to evaluate The Company’s change process, employees’ resistance, and managers’ leadership during the period of change. The qualitative research is based on information gathered from comprehensive interviews conducted with managers and employees of The Company. The analysis reveals, that at first sight successful carve-out (considering only improved financial results) had a variety of inefficiency drawbacks on the change management side. These drawbacks were caused by change leadership, which lacked proper communication and collaboration with employees.
