Abstract

This paper uses Catastrophe Theory and Herzberg's theory of motivation at work to create a model of change which unifies and extends Lewin's two separate stage and force field models. This new model is then applied to analyse the behaviour of academics as they attempt to adapt to the radically changing university environment of recent years. In the process, the model provides interesting new insights into academic behaviour and into the change process more generally.
