Entrepreneurship and Organizational Change

Change is a part of any organization, but in order to compete in the globally connected business environment, organizations also need to incorporate an entrepreneurial focus. This book investigates how successful organizations have intelligently responded to change by utilizing creative, innovative and dynamic solutions. Pursuing a complexity theory approach, it analyzes the changes currently taking place, and discusses the optimal use of organizational resources. This provides the reader with a more cohesive way to assess the current and potential future challenges faced by organizations as they respond to environmental, social and economic changes.
