Organizational+Barriers

= Organizational Barriers to Change= Organizational barriers to change arise when characteristics of the client system itself (as opposed to the characteristics of the broader social system or of the individual adopters as members of that system) conflict with the demands of change.

The authors cite five examples of this type of barrier: //threat to power and influence, organizational structure, behavior of top-level administrators, climate for change in the organization, and technological barriers for resistance.//
