Resistance to change

  • Adrian Furnham

Abstract

Some call it change; others progress; some adaptation. Some people are clearly change-phobic, while others are change-lovers. The former prefer steady-as-you-go predictability and doing things in the old way, but change-lovers adore the new, the different and anything that is state-of-the-art.
