short answer

Explain the following paragraph from Machiavelli’s book, The Prince, in the context of systems analysis.  (10 points).

“There is nothing more difficult to carry out, nor more dangerous to handle, than to initiate a new order of things.  For the reformer has enemies in all who profit by the old order, and only lukewarm defenders in all those who would profit from the new order, this lukewarmness arising partly from fear of their adversaries- and partly from the incredulity of mankind, who do not believe in anything new until they have had actual experience of it.”
