Chief governance officer

1 Without a sponsor at top management level their efforts may

fail when the magnitude of resistance to change overwhelms their limited powers of influence


Joseph M. Juran Management theory

1 Juran is widely credited for adding the human dimension to quality management. He pushed

for the education and training of managers. For Juran, human relations problems were the ones to isolate and resistance to change was the root cause of quality issues. Juran credits Margaret Mead's book Cultural Patterns and Technical Change for illuminating the core problem in reforming business quality. He

wrote Managerial Breakthrough, which was published in 1964, outlining the issue.


Communication - Attitudinal barriers

1 These may be brought about, for example, by such factors as poor management, lack of

consultation with employees, personality conflicts which can result in people delaying or refusing to communicate, the personal attitudes of individual

employees which may be due to lack of motivation or dissatisfaction at work, brought

about by insufficient training to enable them to carry out particular tasks, or just resistance to

change due to entrenched attitudes and ideas, it may be as a result delay in payment at the end of

the month.


Small-world network - Applications to sociology

1 The advantages to small world networking for social movement

groups are their resistance to change due to the filtering apparatus of

using highly connected nodes, and its better effectiveness in relaying

information while keeping the number of links required to connect a

network to a minimum.


Quality management - Quality improvement

1 Improvements that change the culture take longer as they have to overcome

greater resistance to change. It is easier and often more effective to work within

the existing cultural boundaries and make small improvements (that is Kaizen) than to make major transformational changes.

Use of Kaizen in Japan was a major reason for the creation of Japanese industrial and economic strength.


Capitalism - German Historical School and Austrian School

1 Schumpeter, and many contemporary economists influenced

by his work, argue that resources should flow from the declining to the expanding industries for an economy

to grow, but they recognized that sometimes resources are slow to

withdraw from the declining industries because of various forms of institutional resistance to change.


University - Early modern universities

1 This resistance to changes in science may have been a significant factor in

driving many scientists away from the university and toward private benefactors, usually in princely

courts, and associations with newly forming scientific societies.


Community journalism - The journalism debate

1 Clifford Christians, co-author of Good News Social Ethics and the Press, urges journalists

to realize that their publics may gravitate toward self-interest, and therefore the

journalists should report stories that lessen the isolationism that comes from reading wider, world-based stories. A fundamental

flaw in community journalism is the stubborn resistance to change and a compulsion to shape the system to maintain community

standards.


Programming style - Vertical alignment

1 Resistance to change; tabular formatting requires more effort to

maintain. This may put off a programmer from making a

beneficial change, such as adding, correcting or improving the name of an identifier, because it will mess up

the formatting.


Crime prevention through environmental design - Four obstacles to adopting CPTED

1 The second major obstacle is resistance to change. Many specifically resist the type of

cooperative planning that is required to use CPTED. Beyond that, skeptics

reject the research and historic precedents that support the validity

of CPTED concepts.


Federal Bureau of Investigation - September 11th attacks

1 The book suggested that the FBI has not evolved into an effective counter-

terrorism or counter-intelligence agency, due in large part to deeply ingrained agency cultural resistance

to change


Digital literacy - Global impact

1 The Philippines' Department of Education (Philippines)|Education Secretary Jesli

Lapus has emphasized the importance of digital literacy in Filipino education. He

claims a resistance to change is the main obstacle to improving the nation's

education in the globalized world. In 2008, Lapus was inducted into Certiport's

Champions of Digital Literacy Hall of Fame for his work to emphasize digital literacy.


Tacit assumptions

1 These assumptions can be the source of apparent paradoxes,

misunderstandings and resistance to change in human organizational

behavior.


Small-world network - Applications to sociology

1 The advantages to small world networking for social movement| social

movement groups are their resistance to change due to the filtering apparatus of using highly connected nodes, and its

better effectiveness in relaying information while keeping the number of links required to connect a network to a minimum.Clay Shirky|Shirky, Clay. 2008.

Business process reengineering - Research and methodology

1 Roberts also stressed the use of change management tools to

proactively address resistance to change—a factor linked to the demise of many reengineering

initiatives that looked good on the drawing board.


Business process reengineering - Organization wide commitment

1 By informing all affected groups at every stage, and emphasizing the

positive end results of the reengineering process, it is possible

to minimize resistance to change and increase the odds for success


Autism - Repetitive behavior

1 * 'Sameness' is resistance to change; for example, insisting that the

furniture not be moved or refusing to be interrupted.


Cotton - Cultivation

1 Cotton can also be cultivated to have colors other than the yellowish off-white typical of modern commercial cotton fibers. Naturally colored cotton can come in red, green, and

several shades of brown.Dianne K. Dickerson, Eric F. Lane and Dolores F. Rodriguez,

Strain gauge

1 The gauge is attached to the object by a suitable adhesive, such as

cyanoacrylate.[http://www.efunda.com/designstandards/sensors/strain_gages/strain_gage_selection_matl.cfm

Strain Gage: Materials] As the object is deformed, the foil is deformed, causing its electrical resistance to

change


Hooke's Law - Hooke's law for continuous media

1 Due to the inherent symmetries of \sigma, \epsilon, and c, only 21 elastic

coefficients of the latter are independent. For isotropic media

(which have the same physical properties in any direction), c can be

reduced to only two independent numbers, the bulk modulus K and the

shear modulus G, that quantify the material's resistance to changes in

volume and to shearing deformations, respectively.


Wikipedia - History

1 A team at the Palo Alto Research Center attributed this slowing of growth to the project's increasing

exclusivity and resistance to change


Mass

1 *Inertial mass measures an object's resistance to changes in velocity. (the object's

acceleration)

Sustainability and systemic change resistance - The change resistance and proper coupling subproblems

1 The thesis focuses specifically on developing “an interdisciplinary

theoretical framework for understanding institutional change and resistance to change towards

sustainability.”


Sustainability and systemic change resistance - Systemic versus individual change resistance

1 Challenging Resistance to Change, The Journal of Applied Behavioral Science, Vol


Sustainability and systemic change resistance - Systemic versus individual change resistance

1 [which treats resistance to change as a psychological concept, where resistance or support of change

comes from values, habits, mental models, and so on residing within the

individual] For Lewin, resistance to change could occur, but that

resistance could be anywhere in the system


Inertia

1 In common usage the term inertia may refer to an object's amount of

resistance to change in velocity (which is quantified by its mass), or

sometimes to its momentum, depending on the context


Inertia - Mass and inertia

1 Physics and mathematics appear to be less inclined to use the popular concept of inertia as a tendency to maintain momentum and instead favor the mathematically useful

definition of inertia as the measure of a body's resistance to changes in velocity or simply a body's inertial

mass.


Organizational identification - Why is Organizational Identification Important?

1 Although recent research has begun to explore the potentially negative outcomes of OI, including reduced creativity and resistance to change

(336-7)


Organizational learning - Models

1 Definitional problems in applying the concept to public policy are

addressed, noting research in UK local government that concludes on

the obstacles for organizational learning in the public sector: (1)

overemphasis of the individual, (2) resistance to change and politics, (3)

social learning is self-limiting, i.e


Organizational ecology - Inertia and change

1 This theory fragment holds that organizations that are reliable and

accountable are those that can survive (favored by selection). A

negative by-product, however, of the need for reliability and accountability

is a high degree of inertia and a resistance to change. A key

prediction of organizational ecology is that the process of change itself is so disruptive that it will result in an

elevated rate of mortality.


Solid

1 It is characterized by structural rigidity and resistance to changes of shape or volume


Quantum tunnelling composite

1 The effect is far more pronounced than would be expected from

classical electrodynamics|classical (non-quantum) effects alone, as

classical electrical resistance is linear (proportional to distance), while

quantum tunnelling is Exponential function|exponential with decreasing distance, allowing the resistance to

change by a factor of up to 1012 between pressured and unpressured

states.


Electronic Cigarette Association - Variable power and voltage devices

1 Variable PV's eliminate the need of having to replace an atomizer with

another one of lower or higher electrical resistance to change the

intensity of the vapor


Angular momentum

1 the blades of a ceiling fan), the angular momentum can be

expressed as the product of the body's moment of inertia, I, (i.e., a

measure of an object's resistance to changes in its rotation velocity) and

its angular velocity 'ω':


Total productive maintenance - Management

1 Another factor, that is crucial for the succeeding of TPM, is the support of

top management: Lack of top management commitment, lack of middle management support and

employee resistance to change, as well for the status-conscious and

hierarchy-bound middle level executives lacking inititatives are the

main barriers against succeeding (Prabhuswamy et al., 2013).


Business Process Re-engineering - Research and methodology

1 Roberts also stressed the use of change management tools to

proactively address resistance to change—a factor linked to the demise of many reengineering

initiatives that looked good on the drawing board.

Recreation resource planning - Definition

1 Recreation planning is a rational systematic decision-making process, and as such it is a fundamental tool that deters our human tendencies to

make decisions based on predisposition, bias, inadequate

analysis, group-think, insular perspective, resistance to change, and excessive self-confidence. It results in decisions that are more effective, efficient, fair, reasoned,

and defensible.


Global capitalism - German Historical School and Austrian School

1 Schumpeter, and many contemporary economists influenced

by his work, argue that resources should flow from the declining to the expanding industries for an economy

to grow, but they recognized that sometimes resources are slow to

withdraw from the declining industries because of various forms of institutional resistance to change.


Perspectives on capitalism - German Historical School and Austrian School

1 At any moment of time, posits Schumpeter, there are rising industries and declining

industries. Schumpeter, and many contemporary economists influenced by his work, argue that resources should flow from the declining to the expanding industries for

an economy to grow, but they recognized that sometimes resources are slow to withdraw from the declining industries

because of various forms of institutional resistance to change.


Evidence-based nursing - Barriers to promoting Evidence Based Practice

1 The perceived threat to clinical freedom offered by evidence-based practice is neither logical nor surprising. Resistance to change and to authority is part of human nature. When we

make decisions based upon good quality information we are inconsistent and biased.

Human nature offers many challenges to evidence-based practice. Can we do a better job

of promoting evidence-based practice? And even if we find and use the evidence, will we

make consistent unbiased decisions?


Statics - Moment of inertia

1 In classical mechanics, moment of inertia, also called mass moment, rotational inertia, polar moment of

inertia of mass, or the angular mass, (SI units kg·m²) is a measure of an

object's resistance to changes to its rotation


Anomie - History

1 Durkheim's use of the term anomie was about a phenomenon of

industrialization—mass-regimentation that could not adapt

due to its own inertia—its resistance to change, which causes disruptive cycles of collective behavior e.g.

economics, due to the necessity of a prolonged buildup of sufficient force

or momentum to overcome the inertia.https://store.theartofservice.com/the-resistance-to-change-toolkit.html

United States during World War II|World War II (1929–1945)

1 A strain gauge is a device used to measure the Deformation (mechanics)|strain of an

object. As the object is deformed, the foil is deformed, causing its electrical resistance to change. The strain gauge was invented

in 1936 by Edward E. Simmons, a professor at the California Institute of Technology,

and re-invented in 1938 by Arthur C. Ruge, an earthquake specialist at the

Massachusetts Institute of Technology.


Bleeding edge technology - Criteria

1 *Industry resistance to change ndash; trade journals and industry leaders have spoken against a new

technology or product but some organizations are trying to

implement it anyway because they are convinced it is technically

superior.


The Great Gatsby

1 Considered to be Fitzgerald's magnum opus, The Great Gatsby explores themes of decadence,

idealism, resistance to change, social upheaval, and excess, creating a

portrait of the Jazz Age or the Roaring Twenties that has been described as a cautionary tale

regarding the American Dream.


Alternative stable state - Ecological community

1 Because communities have some level of Change management|

resistance to change, they will stay in their domain of attraction (or

stable state) until the perturbation is large enough to force the system into

another state


Paul Watzlawick - Five basic axioms

1 Interactional theorists believe that we will fail to recognize this

destructive resistance to change unless we understand Watzlawick's

axioms


Milton H. Erickson - Ericksonian therapy

1 Erickson is most famous as a hypnotherapist, but his extensive research into and experience with

hypnosis led him to develop an effective therapeutic technique.

Many of these techniques are not explicitly hypnotic, but they are

extensions of hypnotic strategies and language patterns. Erickson

recognised that resistance to trance resembles resistance to change, and developed his therapeutic approach

with that awareness.


Milton H. Erickson - Ericksonian therapy

1 * Encouraging a Response by Frustrating It - This paradoxical approach acts directly on

the patient's own resistance to change. Obese patients are asked to gain weight, or

in a family therapy session, a stubbornly silent family member is ignored until the

frustration obliges them to blurt out some desperate truth. Once again, this approach

has its roots in Erickson's hypnotic language patterns of the form I don't want you to go

into a trance yet.https://store.theartofservice.com/the-resistance-to-change-toolkit.html

Corporate strategy - Origins

1 Ansoff wrote that strategic management had three parts:

strategic planning; the skill of a firm in converting its plans into reality;

and the skill of a firm in managing its own internal resistance to change.

Korean Buddhism - Current situation

1 Although there is resistance to change within the ranks of the Jogye order, with the last three Supreme

Patriarchs' stance that is in accordance with Seongcheol, there has been a gradual change in the atmosphere of Korean Buddhism.


Capital mobility - Stability

1 Even with assistance to smooth a transition between economic

structures, there can be resistance to change in the character of an

industry for economic and social reasons.


Vladimir Sukhomlinov - Minister of War

1 Despite Sukhomlinov's reforms (or perhaps because of his inefficacy and resistance to

change, as some assert), the opening phase of the First World War went badly for Russia. After several Russian defeats during the first

months of war, Vladimir Sukhomlinov was relieved of his post. On 11 June Sukhomlinov

was forced out of office.O. Figes (1996) A People's Tragedy. The Russian Revolution

1891-1924, p. 268, 273. He was succeeded by Alexei Polivanov.


System justification - Outgroup favoritism

1 Researchers have also linked conservatism|political conservatism

with system justification, in that conservatism is associated with

upholding tradition and resistance to change, which is similar to justifying the status quo (or current state of

social, political, and economic norm (social)|norms)


Computerized physician order entry - Implementation

1 Several high profile failures of CPOE implementation have occurred, so a

major effort must be focused on change management, including

restructuring workflows, dealing with physicians' resistance to change, and creating a collaborative environment.


Anti-Mormonism - Traditional

1 the Tanners have been criticized on a number of points: notably for the vitrolic tone of some of their more

polemical pieces, their resistance to change, and their unauthorized

publication of several copyrighted documents.Ibid


Vaginismus - Neuromodulators

1 A psychosomatic approach is using a Vaginal Acceptance Trainer which alleviates the need for conscious intervention, therefore by passing

the critical mind at a deep unconscious level where no

resistance to change can take place, a Vaginal Acceptance Trainer re-programmes the unconscious to

programme the conscious mind to move past the blockage.


Instructional Simulation - Barriers to instructional simulation in medicine

1 The limited use of simulations for training in the medical field can be

explained by several factors, including cost control, relatively

limited modeling of the human body, lack of scientific evidence of

effectiveness, and resistance to change by professional in the field


Islam and modernity - Definition

1 Islamic modernists saw the resistance to change on the part of the conservative ulama as a major cause for the problems the Muslim community was facing as well as its

inability to counter western hegemony.


Hidden dependency - User activities

1 The authors identify four main user activities with interactive artifacts:

incrementation [creation], transcription, modification and exploratory design. Each activity is best served by a different trade-off in the usability on each dimension. For example, a high viscosity (resistance to change) is harmful for modification and

exploration activities, but less severe for the one-off tasks performed in transcription and

incrementation.https://store.theartofservice.com/the-resistance-to-change-toolkit.html

Selective exposure theory - Cognitive dissonance theory

1 If an individual can increase dissonance to the point where it is

greater than the resistance to change, They will change the cognitive elements involved, reducing or even eliminating

dissonance


Cultivation theory - Background

global stature


It's Time (Imagine Dragons song)

1 'It's Time' is a song written and performed by American alternative rock band Imagine Dragons, from the band's major label debut EP Continued Silence as well as their major label debut album Night Visions (album)|Night Visions. With production handled by Alex da' Kid and Brandon Darner, the song is an indie rock song, and its lyrics describe the narrator's resistance to change in the

face of great turmoil.


Aeta peoples - History

1 Unlike many of their Austronesian counterparts, the Aetas have shown

resistance to change


Maynard Ferguson - The Birdland Dream Band

1 As big bands declined in popularity and economic viability into the 1960s, Ferguson's band performed more infrequently. Ferguson began to feel musically stifled and sensed a resistance to change among his American jazz audiences. According to a Down Beat

interview, he was quoted as saying that if the band did not play Maria or Ole, the fans went

home disappointed. Ferguson began performing with a sextet before finally

officially disbanding his big band in 1966.

changing) is a theme throughout the series


Percy Scott

1 He did not, however, endear himself to the Navy establishment for his regular outspoken criticism of the

Navy's conservatism and resistance to change and this undoubtedly

slowed the acceptance of his most important ideas, notably the introduction of directed firing


Physics of roller coasters - Centripetal acceleration

1 Centrifugal (center fleeing) force is not a true force, but rather the result of an object’s inertia, or resistance to

change in direction, as the object moves in a circular path


Energy in Uganda - Background

1 In the 1980s, charcoal and fuel wood met more than 95% of Uganda's total energy needs. These further provided 75% of

commercial energy needs, while 21% was provided by petroleum products. Only 3% of

commercial energy was provided by electricity on a grid. Attempts to convert the population to Biomass cook stove#Improved

stoves and other measures|fuel-efficient stoves proved difficult due to resistance to

change.
