Which strategy is most accurate about creating effective change?
1. Providing information addresses the motivation to change
2. Educating people opposed to change creates new opinions
3. Disseminating information is a prerequisite to change
4. Terminating people opposed to the idea of change if necessary
3
Explanation: 1. Providing information is a prerequisite to change implementation, but is inadequate unless
lack of information is the only obstacle to effecting change. Providing information is incorrect
because although providing information is a prerequisite to change, it does not address the
motivation to change. Educating people opposed to change is incorrect because some people
are vested in their opinions and may remain resistant to change regardless of how well
informed they are. Terminating people is incorrect because people who refuse to consider
change may be transferred to another department within the organization. Others may
gradually open themselves to the idea of change once the plan has been implemented.
