Question 1 of 710 Points

This question is about Force Field Analysis by Kurt Lewin which we covered in our class notes. You work for the local Chamber of Commerce. An enclosed mall in your city has fallen on hard times and will soon be a victim of the retail apocalypse because most of the stores are closing. There are several options about what to do with the mall. One of those is to turn it into a living community for senior citizens and convert the stores to condos with supporting stores for the residents in the enclosed part. Others in the community just want the site torn down and an amusement park to locate there to include miniature golf, carnival rides, food vendors, a swimming pool, and other seasonal activities.

Your job is to survey stakeholders in the community to gather input on what options people prefer.

Using Levins Force Field Analysis, list two driving forces (people or stakeholders) and two restraining forces concerning converting the mall into a senior citizen community.
