Hi,
Please look into the Burke-Litwin model.
1. Transactional change is known as 1st order change, which has elements like:
- Structure
- Systems (policies & procedures)
- Individual needs & values
- Task requirements, skills, abilities
It involves processes such as:
- Management practices
- Work unit climate
- Motivation
- Individual & organizational performance
2. Transformational change is 2nd order change, with elements including:
- Mission & strategy
- Organizational culture
Processes like:
- External environment
- Leadership
- Individual & organizational performance
You can also refer to the book on OD by French, Bell & Vohra. Hope this is helpful.

Hi!
Even I was about to suggest exactly what our friend above has suggested. Truly apt suggestion. This model also very clearly and technically explains these concepts. OD books will also contain a few more models on these topics. Both types of leadership are needed, but the emphasis on transformational leadership (change orientation due to the ever dynamic external environment) is very important and imperative.
