1. Business process changes typically occur within the organization. An example of a business process change is automating a process that previously was performed on paper. If your project has anything to do with this process or is impacted by the process, changes will be coming your way.

   Internal Reorganization A reorganization can impact the resources assigned to and working on your project. This could potentially delay the schedule, especially if you will no longer have the resources originally planned for project activities. You’ll need time to negotiate resource availability with the new managers.

   Business Merger/Acquisition Changes that come in the form of mergers or acquisitions can lead to project changes or sometimes project cancellations. For the exam, it’s important to understand the difference between a merger and an acquisition. A merger is when two businesses come together to perform business as one organization.
   Once the merger is complete, they are one entity. An acquisition is when one business takes over another. The organization performing the takeover has the power and authority and becomes the decision maker for both organizations. Mergers or acquisitions could change the overall objectives and goals of the project.

   Business Demerger/Split A demerger or split is the opposite of a merger or acquisition. The organizations that merged or were acquired decide to break into separate entities. A demerger or split is also likely to change the overall goals of the project or perhaps cause its cancellation.

2. Why would this not be an “Internal reorganization”, how does one differentiate the two. Many times you think of workflow changes or process changes in a Business Process change. There is nothing that says the process are changing in this question, it could just be putting the groups under the same manager.
