VCE Business — Unit 4 AOS 1

Force Field Analysis — Flashcards & Quiz

Force field analysis is Kurt Lewin's model for evaluating organisational change and sits in VCE Business Management Unit 4 Area of Study 1, "Reviewing performance – the need for change". You need to identify driving forces (managers, employees, competitors, legislation, globalisation, innovation, pursuit of profit) and restraining forces (managers, employees, time, organisational inertia, legislation, financial considerations), assign weights to each, and recommend whether the change should proceed. VCAA expects a four-step application: list, weight, evaluate, recommend. Always finish with a justified decision.
