This very successful textbook explores change and how it relates to the complexities of organisational life, and puts an emphasis on applying the theory to practice. Now significantly updated and in its 5th edition, Organizational Change reflects a rapidly changing world and considers 'how change has changed'. The book is structured in three parts. The first part considers the causes and nature of change. Part two opens up the organisation to expand on issues of structuring for change, the cultural and political contexts for change and how to lead change. Part three moves firmly into addressing the more practical considerations of designing, planning and implementing change.
