Happened Change
 This is Change that is rather unpredictable
and that takes place naturally due to
external forces.
 It is profound and traumatic, for it is out of
direct control and produces a future state
that is largely unknown.
 This type of change occurs when an
organisation reaches a plateau in its life
cycle and falls prey to unwieldy demands
from the environment.

Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall 10- 18

 Change carried out in expectation of an event,
or series of events is called Anticipatory change.

may tune in or re orient themselves to future
demands.

changes in anticipation of external events.

Levin's Force-Field
Theory of Change
 Argues that two sets of opposing forces within an
organization determine how change will take place
 Forces for change and forces making organizations
resistant to change
 When forces for and against change are equal, the
organization is in a state of inertia
 To change an organization, managers must increase
forces for change and/or decrease forces resisting change
