Rearrange the steps of conducting the force-field analysis.

• 1, 2, 3, 4, 5

• 2, 1, 5, 3, 4

• 2, 1, 4, 3, 5

What should be done if there is no big gap in the ratio?

• Move on

• Discuss to increase driving forces/reduce restraining forces

• Choose the appropriate strategic decision

• CEO makes the final decision

A hospital is considering to upgrade the medical equipment for better treatment of their patients. But the change of equipment comes with a price. Below is the diagram of FFA conducted by the hospital director. Should they should proceed with the upgrades or not?

• No, because the ratio of restraining forces to driving forces is 10:8

• No, because the ratio of driving forces to restraining forces is 7:5

• Yes, because the ratio of driving forces to restraining forces is 14:10

• Yes, because the ratio of restraining forces to driving forces is 14:10

Do all choices/decisions analysed using force-field analysis need to be accepted?

• Yes, managers need to be able to increase driving force as much as possible at all times

• Why not? Businesses needs to take risks and try out their strategy

• Not necessarily, some degree of skepticism and resistance may be necessary

What is the definition of force-field analysis?

• the process of selling different, unrelated goods or services in new markets

• the process of conducting research into the business environment within which an organisation operates, and into the organisation itself, to help form future strategies

• vector field that describes a non-contact force acting on a particle at various positions in space

• technique for identifying and analysing the positive factors that support a decision and negative factors that constrain it
