Managers who focus on their own objectives to complete a change process are utilizing whose change theory?
1. Lewin
2. Lippitt
3. Havelock
4. Rogers
Correct Answer: 2
Lewin focused on change theory based on a belief that change is a result of forces within a field or environment. Lipitt extended Lewin's theory and focused more on what the change agent must do rather than the evolution of change. Havelock modified Lewin's theory regarding planned change by emphasizing planning the change process, and Rogers developed a diffusion-innovation theory rather than a planned change theory.
