According to Gladwell’s (2000) The Tipping Point, change is a “virus.” Explain how the change virus is spread: who spreads it and how it sticks.

What will be an ideal response?


A few people initiate and facilitate the spread of the virus: connectors, who have
many connections with the external environment; mavens, who know a lot about what is
happening in the external environment and love to tell others about it (they are a type of
connector); and salespersons, who are good at spreading the change virus through
persuasion and influence. You need to use different forms of communicating the same
message and repetition of the message in its various forms to make it stick.
