“This text nicely develops the theoretical underpinnings of organizational change along with examples of real world applications making it an excellent selection for students of both theory and practice.”
“Change is essential for any organization that wants to be progressive in the 21st century. How we master that change is found in this book.”
“Excellent material that provides current information relative to change theories and change models that are applicable to any setting (educational, corporate, business, community).”
good one - has adopted as a core textbook for the module of change management and communication.
This text provides a practical tool kit for change management students. It is extremely useful for seminar sessions, where we work in an experiential way to really understand the impact of effective change management.
Very useful reading material for the course. Its theoretical and practical content will provide a comprehensive insight for students.
Great mix of theory along with case studies and tools for helping with implementation of change. Really complements our course which is a mix of academic and applied learning.
This book is a must for anybody who wishes to be involved with organisational change. The toolkit will allow the reader years of companionship and will not be a book that gathers dust or be used as a door stop.
Highly rcommended
