Most organizations do not get turned around because of people's unwillingness to change. It is the job of every leader to undertake measures that enable the organization to survive and grow in the chaotically changeful business environment. But before that, s/he needs to know the precise reasons due to which people resist change; perhaps then only workable measures for the transformation can be worked out. That is also what happens in mergers and acquisitions (M & As). People leave the new organization out of disgust as they do not want to accept the new order. It is believed that 70 per cent of all M & As fail due to people's inability to accept the merged organization.

What do you think are the possible reasons for people resisting change?
