Dr. Honarpisheh, Iran
"It is a prerequisite to the selection of the appropriate change approach to understand the change management iceberg model of Kruger and the above attitudes and behavior of people towards the change plan in the organization.
Can't we say then, that different approaches should be applied to different (groups of) people in the organization?"

Combining Multiple Change Approaches
Farry B Jeffrey, UK
"I do not agree that different approaches should be applied in the same organization. This would cost the organization an arm and a leg. The iceberg itself says that the opponents should be approached differently from the supporters. If Dr Honarpisah means this by different approach it is already included. But usually a combined approach means asking for different resources as well. An approach should not use different techniques." |

Managing Change
Elliott, UK
"Not someone else who thinks that change management is all about attitudes and behaviors. One would not attempt to change the culture of a Chinese or Japanese company so why do we think we can do this in the west? There are six basic dimensions of change of which culture and climate are only one dimension underpinned by process." |

Talk about improvement or take the resistence out
William Gomes, Brazil
"If the change culture can not be accepted by everyone, to work in the some way, no organization can really live like this from now on. So the point is: or the people have the positive position or have to be put out. If you can not, then you have to get out!" |

Change
Peter A Hunter, United Kingdom
"There are two managers.
Theory X who drives performance and drives change, and by driving them causes them to fail.
The Theory Y manager supports, recognizes and succeeds.
No contest." |

Of course change is possible
Pia, Sweden
"Changing attitudes happens in less than a second. Behaviour takes longer but of course change is possible. Japaneese and Chinese companies also change, it's a myth that they don't. Using a mix of approaches is neccessary since there are always early adopters who are positive to any change, and there are people who are afraid of change no matter what. That will always be the case and although I think that Education and Communication alongisde with Participation and Involvement is the preferred way to go, there are times when other more brutal and forceful approaches are needed." |

Enable People to cope with Change
ram, India
"Change needs to be understood and appropriately managed in such a way that people can cope with it. Change can be unsettling and managers have to logically deal with introducing change." |

Change is possible
Nyatse,DanAsabe Alu, Nigeria
"The reason why most employees reject change is in the manner of implementation. Change is possible if properly communicated. Theory 'X' does not go down well when it comes to change." |
