The Politics of ChangeThe Politics of Change
Impetus for change is likely to come from outside change agents.
Internal change agents are most threatened by their loss of status in the organization.
Long-time power holders tend to implement only incremental change.
The outcomes of power struggles in the organization will determine the speed and quality of change.
