Answer to Question 1

Lewin's force-field theory of change assumes organizations are affected by two opposing forces: the forces pushing organizational change and the forces resisting organizational change. When these forces are in balance, the organization is in a state of inertia and does not change. To foment change, managers must find a way to increase the forces for change, reduce resistance to change, or do both simultaneously. Any of these strategies will overcome inertia and cause the organization to change.

According to Lewin, organizational change requires three steps: unfreezing, changing, and refreezing. Unfreezing refers to the process of releasing the organization from a state of inertia by increasing the forces for change, reducing the resistance to change, or both. The change step of Lewin's concept is where the actual organizational change occurs. Refreezing the organization refers to reestablishing inertia at the new desired future state to prevent reversion to previous attitudes and behaviors.
