Abstract:

Previous studies on inertia indicated the word of inertia in Latin means “idle and lazy” and it is always referred to describe difficulties faced by organizational in implementing changes within organization. As inertia became a part of the routines in organization, organization tends to practice the same routines and resists changes due to their past experience. Inertia is a form of inability to resist changes either in processes or procedures within organization and it could be either individual or organizational. Literature reviews explained development of organizational inertia, elements and impacts on organization.
