abstract = {An attitude survey and a role-playing case were used to identify the typical approaches people use to implement important changes in organizations. This typical strategy, suggested or used by over 90\% of the subjects, was not successful in producing change in any of the fourteen role-playing trials. However, with ten minutes of instruction in the ?Delta Technique,? 86\% of the subjects were successful in introducing change in another fourteen role-playing trials. The ?Delta Technique? consists of simple rules drawn from half a century of research.}
