Over the course of ten chapters they discuss general cultural problems of change; introduce the concept of culture; explore communication techniques for directed cultural change; describe direct and indirect advantages that provide motivation for cultural change; describe a method for adapting an innovation to existing ideas and customs such as patterns of leadership; social organization, and beliefs; explore secondary strategies such as obtaining participation, flexibility in project implementation, and utilizing time effectively; profile the primary characteristics of agrarian nations; compare these to American cultural characteristics as a caution against "change agent" bias; and discuss field problems of the "change agent."
