Question
One theory of change in static view is [blank_start]organisational development[blank_end]. It's based on [blank_start]Lewin's[blank_end] theory but also applies [blank_start]behavioural science[blank_end]. A theory within this is [blank_start]Dawson's[blank_end] theory. Steps of this theory include: identifying [blank_start]need[blank_end] for change, selecting [blank_start]technique[blank_end] for intervention, gaining [blank_start]top management[blank_end] support to implement change, [blank_start]plan[blank_end] change process, [blank_start]overcome resistance[blank_end] to change & finally [blank_start]evaluate[blank_end] change process
