The empirical-rational approach is focused on providing data and logical arguments to convince people of the need for change. It assumes that people will make rational decisions based on the information provided. The other options involve using power or social pressure to force change (power-coercive) or changing people's attitudes and beliefs through social influence or group dynamics (normative-reeducative). The environmental-adaptive approach involves adapting to external changes rather than trying to change the organization.
