Introduction

Abstract

Change is one of the recurrent themes of developed companies in general and management literature in particular. It is present in all books and articles, at the same time as becoming a virtual obsession not just for managers but also for all those who work today in our organizations, whether in the public or private sector. Even political leaders, identified as being conservatives or assumed to be progressives, define themselves in relation to it: being against change, whatever the sphere under consideration, is held to be backward, “out of touch” and, in a word, blinkered.
