Kurt Lewin’s classic organizational change model consists of three sequential phases. What is the correct sequence of these phases?

Explanation

• Kurt Lewin conceptualized organizational change as a three-stage transition: Unfreezing existing patterns, Changing (moving) to new behaviors, and Refreezing the new status quo.
• ‘Unfreezing’ creates readiness by overcoming inertia; ‘Changing’ adopts new practices; ‘Refreezing’ solidifies new norms to prevent backsliding.
• Lewin also created ‘Force Field Analysis’, which balances Driving Forces against Restraining Forces during change initiatives.
