Even present and future-oriented societies experience resistance to change. To some extent, for all cultures, resistance to change is attributable to the uncertainty associated with change, including the awareness that change is not always improvement and can produce unintended consequences or reverse results with negative outcomes. It is important for managers to understand the sources of resistance to change so they can anticipate and reduce them. Tradition, habit, resource limitations, threats to power and influence, and fear of the unknown are forms of resistance to change found in all societies (Klarič, 2005).
