Understanding Organizational Change

This exciting new text fills the gap in the management literature on organizational change. It presents a balanced view, which raises questions about the imperative of change, who’s interests are being served, how change programmes impact on employees and why organizations continually engage in such programmes. It gives readers a comprehensive history of: <ul>
<li>change management literature</li> <li>types of change techniques over time (i.e. TQM, BPR, Balanced Scorecard, Six Sigma, etc.) </li> <li>the role of management gurus in the rise and fall of management fashions</li> <li>the impact of organizational change on organizational members.</li>
</ul> The authors provide case vignettes of companies from both sides of the Atlantic, which have undergone some of the better-known change techniques, and explore the reasons for their successes and failures. This is an innovative and important new text for students of organizational behaviour, organizational change, strategy and HRM.

Applying an invaluable sensemaking framework to organizational change and combining the theory and practice of implementing change, this book represents an instructive and informative view on change in business. Its strength lies in two key areas: <ul>
<li>the discussion and explanation of a strategic sensemaking approach, for helping managers, management educators and students to understand organizational change</li> <li>a longitudinal study of a major company which underwent several organizational changes, revealing some of the key problems and challenges that managers face when introducing, implementing and managing change.</li>
</ul>
Rather than being structured as a ‘how to’ book, this outstanding text provides the reader with practical insights and skills for managing (or resisting) change. Applying Weick's famous sensemaking approach, it offers a unique way to understand the processes involved in organizational change.
