About this title

Synopsis

This book on managing planned change, integrates the concepts and techniques involved in implementing and managing such a process. Dr. Paul Nutt draws on over two decades of research and observation to present a coherent and thorough systematic prescription for creating and implementing organizational planning. The text utilizes five key concepts in approaching the topic. First, techniques for carrying out planned change are drawn from systems engineering, behavioural science, systems theory, psychology, and applied mathematics. Second, hybrid methods merge different techniques into a planned change process that fits the requirements and strategies of the organization. Third, implementation is integrated into the planning process by providing a framework that permits the plan to tailor the approach to fit the situation. The fourth major concept presents planned change as a managerially guided activity, addressing both process and process management. Finally, the text focuses on planning dialogue in which sponsors and planners choose sides and debate the evolving plan.

There is extensive use of case studies and theoretical hypotheses; end-of-chapter exercises further illustrate key ideas.
