In reality, it is quite the contrary; to change is one of the biggest challenges faced by companies, both large and small, ever. Companies, in respond to their internal and external challenges, are trying to make a transformation effort to be a better competitor. John P. Kotter, a Harvard Professor who has spent 30 years observing the process of change, came out with a journal and later a book titled Leading Change: Why Transformation Efforts Fail.

The journal article focused on 8 reasons/phases that companies should use as guidelines in order to succeed during the transformation process.

    Human behavior underlies almost all environmental problems, such as air and water pollution, climate change, deforestation, and loss of biodiversity. Research in psychology offers clues as to why people engage in unsustainable behaviors despite their concern about the broader consequences. At the same time, the research also explains why people go out of their way to behave sustainably, and how it is possible to motivate and empower sustainable actions. The goal of the psychology of sustainable behavior is to create the conditions that make sustainable action the most appealing or natural choice. Most people want to live in a way that treats the ecosystems we depend on with care and respect, and people express increasing worry about the state of our natural environment. Yet we all find ourselves engaging in unsustainable daily behaviors that have negative environmental impacts. We are intelligent, thinking creatures.
