The rational-empirical strategy for change uses knowledge as a power base. Once workers understand
the organizational need for change or understand the meaning of the change to them as individuals and
the organization as a whole, they will change. Power-coercive uses authority and threat of job loss to
gain compliance with change. The normative-reeducative strategy uses social orientation to support
change. Training focuses on teaching.
