Answer to Question 1

The process of change either can take place in topdown manner with leaders initiating and driving the process or can be bottomup with individuals and teams throughout the organization starting and implementing the process. A topdown change fits well with traditional, hierarchical, command-and-control organizations and tends to force rapid change. However, it also may engender more resistance. The bottomup approach creates more involvement and participation, thereby reducing resistance.
