Answer to Question 1

B
Laggards are the last group to adopt a change. They prefer tradition and stability to innovation and
tend to be somewhat suspicious of change. Rejectors openly oppose and reject change. They may be
surreptitious or covert in their opposition and may even hinder the change process to the point of
sabotage. Innovators embrace change, enjoy the challenge of change, and often lead change. The late
majority, often known as the followers, are often skeptics, but they adopt change after expressing their
negative feelings.
