ABSTRACT
In the business world, change is implicit in the definition of a project. After all, there would be no reason to plan, manage, and implement a project if nothing were going to change. Change occurs even in the example of Johnny’s birthday party. His parents’ finances change as a result of the party expenses. Johnny’s collection of toys and other possessions changes after he opens his gifts. Even Johnny’s self-esteem changes, because-at least for the length of the party-he is the center of attention.
