- Title
LOGICS OF IDENTITY, CONTRADICTION, AND ATTRACTION IN CHANGE.
- Authors
Ford, Jeffrey D.; Ford, Laurie W.
- Abstract
How we manage and produce organizational change is a function of the point of view we take regarding the phenomenon of change. But different points of view give us different understandings of the process. In this article, three different points of view, or logics, are presented: formal logic, dialectics, and trialectics. Although each point of view is discussed, the intent of this paper is to expand the logics of change to include trialectics. The implications of trialectics for organization change are discussed.
