Company creed change compelled (7)
I believe the answer is:
coerced
'compelled' is the definition.
(coercing is a kind of compelling)
'company creed change' is the wordplay.
'company' becomes 'co' (abbreviation).
'change' indicates an anagram.
'creed' anagrammed gives 'erced'.
'co'+'erced'='COERCED'
(Other definitions for coerced that I've seen before include "Put pressure on" , "Compelled" , "Persuaded by force" .)
