The Lewin's Change Management Model is still in use today. Conceptualized by psychologist Kurt Lewin in the 1950s, it emphasizes three stages of changes: unfreezing, modification, then refreezing. He explains that people do not usually accept change as a part of the work process, and would continually stay in their comfort zone. In overcoming this status quo, the organization must motivate the people for change to occur. 3, record 1, English, - model%20of%20change%20management

En effet, le modèle de Lewin est un classique qu'on trouve dans la plupart des ouvrages sur le changement organisationnel. Il s’attarde surtout au changement des attitudes. Le processus de changement est divisé en trois étapes :(1) le dégel ou la décristallisation,(2) la transition et(3) enfin, le regel ou la recristallisation. 2, record 1, French, - mod%C3%A8le%20de%20gestion%20du%20changement

Il y a de nombreuses façons d’envisager le processus de changement lui-même. Une des plus simples est le modèle de Kurt Lewin de décristallisation/recristallisation de la culture d’entreprise, un des fondements de la gestion traditionnelle du changement, alors que d’autres modèles de résistance au changement s’appuient sur l'équilibre des mécanismes en jeu dans l'organisation. 2, record 2, French, - processus%20de%20changement

Thermochemical Fractionation and Liquefaction of Biomass ... Proposed three stage biomass utilization scheme .... The first stage (I) is a mild treatment for removal of the hemicellulose fraction. Moderate temperature and pressure are utilized in this stage with the hemicellulose removal either acid or base assisted. The simultaneous isolation, decrystallization and partial saccharification (SIDS) of cellulose is the second stage (II) of the proposed sequence. The second stage reactions are performed at higher temperature and pressures with the intent of obtaining a fermentable oil. The third and final stage (III) is designed to convert lignin to a phenolic oil. Critical factors in this stage are proper choice of catalyst and higher temperatures where lignin is more rapidly degraded. 1, record 7, English, - simultaneous%20isolation%2C%20decrystallization%20and%20partial%20saccharification
