[#336] Assertion (A) From its inception, the study of organisational change has noted the fact that many participants respond with dogged resistance to altering the status quo. Since the industrial revolution began, workers have at times sought, occasionally in extremely violent fashion, to block the introduction of new technology. Reason (R) Such behaviour may be either overt or covert. Overt resistance may take the form of employees deliberately failing to do the things necessary for successful change or simply being unenthusiastic about the change.
