Abstract: Some authors have expressed the most important preconditions of change success in different formulas. All formulas but one comprise a threshold value below which change cannot happen. The one without a threshold presumes proportionality between some factors and change success. These two approaches seemingly contradict each other. This paper resolves the contradiction by proposing a new model that comprises both a threshold value and a modified proportional relation that becomes valid beyond the threshold value. The conventional dimension of the ‘result’ is modified from ‘change’ to ‘attitude towards change’ because attitude in itself cannot guarantee that the planned change actually happens.
