Subscribe/Renew Journal
Whether an organisation would adopt change or not is generally decided by its strategic apex. But since with any change of the status quo, disruptive or incremental, comes resistance. It is imperative for the management to decide in a rational way whether the suggested change would in aggregation gives favourable results. This is a conceptual study inspired by the analytic hierarchy process and develops a model to identify the reasons for a company that pull to no change or push to change. We define, push to change as those efforts which positively affect change and negatively affect no change and pull to no change as those efforts which negatively affect change and positively affect no change.
