Receptivity to change in a general medical practice

Article Abstract:

An analysis to organizational change using the receptivity model is conducted, based on data from a three-year evaluation of a personal medical services (PMS) pilot. The analysis shows that when eight factors, as identified by Pettigrew et al., are conceptualized in terms of strength, direction and continuity of their influence, the receptivity metaphor provides a distinctive tool for the analysis of change.
