Final Answer :
The five stages of logical incrementalism are:
1. General concern: A vague feeling or awareness of a threat or opportunity.2. Broadcasting a general concern or idea without details: The new idea is tried out on others in general terms, with details to be filled in later. This procedure is often described as the trial balloon.3. Development of a formal plan for change: The new idea is outlined both in terms of its nature, and of the method of making it happen.4. Using an opportunity or crisis to begin the change plan: Something important that gets everyone's attention, such as a crisis that the change plan can solve, can be used to get the ball rolling.5. Ongoing adaptation of the plan: Many managers see logical incrementalism as an accurate description of how change occurs in most successful companies.
