Eleven organizational change approaches were reviewed and analyzed in
terms of the impact they have on major system variables in organizations,
the type of change agent most likely to utilize each approach, and the
relative affective, cognitive, and trusting behaviors required by the client
system for the successful implementation of each approach. Different
approaches are linked to different change-agent styles and needs of the
client system.
