Newton’s laws and a dynamic force-field analogy for analyzing organizational changes
The abstract of the paper is as follows (to appear in International Journal of Mechanical Engineering Education)
A dynamic force-field analogy for analyzing organizational change is presented. Instead of
just analyzing the driving and restraining forces in the traditional force-field analysis, which is similar to
the static analysis in solid mechanics, the forces opposing change can be modeled in terms of viscous
or frictional forces that may be encountered. Some analogies between organizational change and the
dynamic motion of a body using solid mechanics are presented and discussed. The analogy is then
extended to excitation at the resonant state of a mechanical system to examine the optimal or ideal
conditions for enforcing organizational change.
