Here is a short list of models of how people, organizations, industries and societies change:

• Weinberg's "naive" models:
  
  
  
  • The diffusion model
  
  
  • The hole-in-the-floor model
  
  
  • The Newtonian model
  
  
  • The learning curve model
  
  
  
  


• Virginia Satir's change model


• Geoffrey Moore's "Crossing the chasm" technology adoption model


• Kuhn's model of paradigm shifts (as interpreted by Simsek) : "normalcy, confronting anomalies, crisis, selection, renewed normalcy"


• Gandi's model: "First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win."

Those are the models I know. Models I want to look into:

• Axelrod's "Engagement Paradigm" (this article also lists "naive" models)


• Jeanie Duck's "Change Curve"

P.S. Yes, I'm practicing my list-making skills.
