Synopsis

The philosophy behind Exploring Strategic Change is its departure from the notion that change management can be a formulaic and linear process: 'Change Management', as a sought-after managerial skill in today's business environment, is approached with originality by focusing on the fundamental importance of context-specific analysis.
Aimed at undergraduate and postgraduate students, practising managers and other change agents, the text takes the reader through the change process from the examination of context and the diagnosis of the organisation's change needs to the stages of transition and transference to a tangible reality.

About this title

“One of the very best books on change management! Exploring Strategic Change enables students and managers to develop their skills and judgement in crafting successful designs for strategic change.

Its integrating model – the Change Kaleidoscope – enables rich analysis of context, and supports both students and lecturers in undertaking assignments and assessments.”

Dr Steve Kempster, Lancaster University Management School

 

Exploring Strategic Changeengages with the dynamic and complex process of change management from the analysis of context to the formulation and implementation of effective strategies and solutions.

Using the unique and innovative framework of the Change Kaleidoscope, the reader will develop valuable insights into the understanding and practice of managing change. Frequent examples encourage both critical reflection and application of theory, and the focus on implementation also enables students to hone their judgement and practical skills.
