Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Participation involves including individuals who may resist change in the decision-making process, and giving them a meaningful role to play in shaping the change. This can help to gain their support and reduce resistance to the change. Co-optation is a similar process, but typically involves less genuine involvement and more of an attempt to manipulate individuals into supporting the change. Manipulation and coercion are both forms of exerting control over individuals, and are unlikely to lead to genuine support for change. Facilitation involves providing support and resources to help individuals adapt to change, but may not necessarily involve their direct involvement in decision-making.
