1. Power-coercive strategy
2. Empirical-rational model
3. A driving force
4. A normative-reeducative strategy
4
Explanation: 1. In most cases, the normative-reeducative approach to change will be effective in reducing
resistance and stimulating personal and organizational creativity. Power-coercive strategies
are used when much resistance is anticipated, time is short, and the change is critical for
organizational survival. The empirical-rational model is a change agent strategy based on the
assumption that people are rational and follow self-interest if that self-interest is made clear.
A driving force is a behavior that facilitates change by pushing participants in the desired
direction in spite of restraining forces.
