Secondary - professionals: Internal or external organisational change agents. These could be HR professionals, senior managers or external change consultants.
Written jointly by practitioners and academics, the book will provide the theoretical underpinnings behind organisational development and practical insights based on real case studies. The first section of the book brings together for the first time, an up-to-date review of current thinking. The middle section comprises a diverse selection of case histories which examine the role of the change agent, both in successes and failures. Throughout, the benefit of reflective practice is encouraged and the commentary accompanying each case history demonstrates what can be learned from this. The cases are taken from a wide range of industries: service, manufacturing, public sector and small business.

From the Back Cover
The main aim of the text is to help readers to appreciate more fully the complexities of bringing about organizational change and development, not least the cultural factors in the change process, and the value of using theory and rigorous internal research in a very conscious and focused way to inform, shape and measure their own change agency practice. The text is therefore suitable for both advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students on a course with an option on organizational change/development, MBA students and practitioners dealing with issues related to organizational change.
Key features of the text
o Illustrates a wide range of organisational change initiatives.
o Offer practical insights and perspectives on what makes effective and beneficial organisational change.
o Examines how theory has informed practice, but also where evidence-based practice has generated new theories.
o Real case histories provide an unprecedented amount of expertise from which the reader can learn both the successes and pitfalls.
o The selection of case histories represent a variety of organisations including small business and the public sector.
