Abstract

Change occurs at several levels within any system: the individual, a group, and the system as a whole. At each level, internal or external factors can drive change (although internal factors are usually responses to outside factors). Change can be viewed in terms of the changer and the entity being changed. The theories of change can be approached in several ways: change theory (defining change), change in terms of the process itself (what occurs), levels of change (noting group dynamics), and change agency (catalyst for change). Technology adds another dimension to the change process since it explicitly entails technical skill and the affective domain.
