Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
A change agent is the person who seeks to create change and is responsible for
facilitating the change process with others. Having gathered data, identified the problem, and
decided that change is needed, the change agent sets about making others aware of the need for
change. A change agent is not necessarily involved with evaluating a change or ensuring
compliance.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
According to Lewin, change requires an imbalance between the forces that call for
changethe driving forces, which push the system toward change and the restraining forces that
pull the system away from change. Lewin does not explicitly address the issues of motivation,
inertia, resilience, and will for change.
