Managing Change in Organisations

Sets out to provide a practical overview of how to achieve effective organizations. The book offers guidance and techniques for planning, implementing and reviewing major organizational changes and suggests how people and organizations can cope with the pressures involved.

This new edition of Managing Change in Organizations offers a thorough, practical overview of how to achieve effective organizations. It is ideal for advanced undergraduates, postgraduates and MBA students on courses in managing change and organizational change. This text is particularly significant for its strategic approach and its use of key techniques for planning, implementing and reviewing of organizational changes. Previous editions have proved successful and popular because of the way the book combines theory and practice in one volume to provide students with an invaluably comprehensive text. Key features and benefits:

• Diagnostic exercises to encourage students to identify what they know and evaluate their progress
• Strong, flexible pedagogy to allow the book to be used in a range of ways to accompany face to face teaching or by the student on a more individual learning basis
• Revised and improved coverage of corporate culture, breakthrough change, leadership and the role of leaders, the learning organization, RBV and core competencies
• Original material on change architecture focused on the design and management of effective change programmes
• New and updated case studies are included to enhance the global dimension
• New companion website provides material for tutors to aid in lecture and seminar preparation
