EcoEase, a cleaning product manufacturer, is considering switching to concentrated formulas with refill options to reduce plastic waste. After identifying driving and restraining forces, weighting, and ranking them, the analysis reveals that the restraining forces slightly outweigh the driving forces. Which of the following actions would BEST align with the ‘implementing a response’ principle of Lewin’s Force Field Analysis in this situation?
Re-evaluating the initial weighting and ranking to artificially inflate the driving forces’ scores to proceed with the concentrated formula change.
Developing a marketing campaign to highlight the cost savings and environmental benefits of concentrated refills, while also offering incentives to retailers to stock the new product line.
Immediately halting the project and maintaining the existing product line to avoid potential losses associated with a change that faces significant resistance.
Conducting a post-implementation review six months after launching the concentrated formula to determine its overall success.

Businesses are under constant pressure to adapt and change to meet their objectives. In this unit students consider the importance of reviewing key performance indicators to determine current performance and the strategic management necessary to position a business for the future. Students study a theoretical model to undertake change and consider a variety of strategies to manage change in the most efficient and effective way to improve business performance. They investigate the importance of effective management and leadership in change management. Using one or more contemporary business case studies from the past four years, students evaluate business practice against theory.
In this area of study students develop their understanding of the need for change. Managers regularly review and evaluate business performance through use of key performance indicators and use the results to make decisions affecting the future of a business. Managers can take both a proactive and reactive approach to change. Students investigate the ways a business can search for new business opportunities as a source of future business growth and consider current forces for change on a business. They apply Lewin’s Force Field Analysis theory to contemporary case studies from the past four years and consider approaches to strategic management using Porter’s Generic Strategies.
