Resistance to change, as well as stubbornness to search for better ways of doing things resides in the human nature. And yet, what would our society look like today if change didn’t take place? Would it still even exist?
Because of their fears, ignorance or reluctance people rejected some of the most revolutionary discoveries or inventions. The necessity for making changes appears for organisation,s as well as for society. Resistance and reticence towards change arise as well.
