Resistance Management Project

The aim of the project is to compile a collection of studies (research publications, specifically journal articles) that focuses on resistance to organizational change at the individual, group, and organizational-wide level from stakeholders impacted by proposed changes. Identify the rationale for the various forms of resistance to change, identify how the resistance was managed, and/ or provide suggestions on how the resistance could be managed. The expected outcome includes: i. Map out a pattern of different forms of resistance and resulting outcomes. ii. Create vignettes / mini-cases that explain or better illustrate different forms of resistance in organizations. iii. Link the vignettes/mini-cases to theoretical/conceptual explanations of resistance to organizational change. iv. Compile findings into publishable outputs
