Which strategy for change relies on social orientation as its power base?
a. rational-empirical c. normative-reeducative

C
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 strategy uses authority and threat of job loss to gain compliance with change. The normative-reeducative strategy uses social orientation to support change. Systems thinking is part of Senge's learning organization theory.
