According to Kotter and Schlesinger (1979), there are four reasons that certain people are resisting change: a) Parochial self-interest (some people are concerned with the implication of the change for themselves ad how it may effect their own interests, rather than considering the effects for the success of the business) b) Misunderstanding (communication problems; inadequate information) c) Low tolerance to change (certain people are very keen on security and stability in their work) d) Different assessments of the situation (some employees may disagree on the reasons for the change and on the advantages and disadvantages of the change process)
