   <abstract xml:lang="ru">
    <p>Статья посвящена исследованию возможностей применения классической трехэтапной модели Курта Левина в управлении организационными изменениями в условиях современных вызовов VUCA-мира (нестабильность, неопределенность, сложность, неоднозначность). Проведен критический анализ сильных и слабых сторон модели Левина, включая её линейность и акцент  на долгосрочной стабильности, в сравнении с инновационными подходами: Agile, Appreciative Inquiry и теорией сложности. На примерах компаний (General Motors, IBM, Zoom, Amazon, Disney) показано, в каких контекстах модель Левина сохраняет актуальность, а где требуется интеграция с гибкими методами. Предложены гибридные решения, сочетающие этапы «размораживания», «изменения» и «замораживания» с цифровыми инструментами, итеративными циклами и анализом данных в реальном времени. Особое внимание уделено балансу между устойчивостью результатов и адаптивностью, а также этическим аспектам использования технологий. Результаты исследования формируют основу для управления изменениями в эпоху цифровой трансформации и глобальных кризисов.</p>

   <trans-abstract xml:lang="en">
    <p>The article explores the applicability of Kurt Lewin’s classical three-stage model in organizational change management within the context of the modern VUCA world (volatility, uncertainty, complexity, ambiguity). A critical analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of Lewin’s model, including its linearity and focus on long-term stability, is conducted in comparison with innovative approaches such as Agile, Appreciative Inquiry, and complexity theory. Case studies of companies (General Motors, IBM, Zoom, Amazon, Disney) demonstrate the contexts where Lewin’s model remains relevant and where integration with flexible methods is required. Hybrid solutions  are proposed, combining the stages of &quot;unfreezing,&quot; &quot;changing,&quot; and &quot;refreezing&quot; with digital tools, iterative cycles, and real-time data analysis. Special emphasis is placed on balancing result sustainability with adaptability, as well as ethical aspects of technology adoption. The research findings provide a framework for managing change in the era of digital transformation and global crises.</p>
