Tension: when two or more ideas are in opposition to each other. Paradox: when two or more apparently correct ideas contradict each other. Multiple perspectives contributions from several different schools, academic disciplines and theoretical perspectives - there are several literatures. Conceptual spread the concepts that are used range in scale, from whole schools of thought or perspectives, through methodologies, to single tools. Fluid boundaries: depending on the definitions of change and change management in use, the boundaries of the topic vary between commentators. Rich history interesting and useful contributions date from the 1940"s, and recent work has not necessarily made previous commentary irrelevant. Varied settings as with our stories, evidence and examples come from a range of organizational types and contexts, using different methodologies. Many variables even with simple changes, the impact is multidimensional and measuring effectiveness has to capture all of the factors to produce a complete picture.
