About this Item

Autorensignatur; Leichte Risse. "There are plenty of books about the "what" and "why" of the processes of change that companies need to go through. But this is the first book that demonstrates in concrete terms, and with plenty of specific examples, how such changes are best carried out - examples based on practical work and designed to be put into practice." "The main part of the book provides the tools needed to do this. The authors offer information on "how to do it" with quick summaries under topics about which little of practical value has yet been published, as well as topics about which the practical manager would otherwise have to plow through whole books.".

Review

Aus den Rezensionen:

 

“... beleuchtet die Logik von Veränderung und auch deren Psycho-Logik. Das Buch ... beschreibt einzelne Werkzeuge, wie der Wandel professionell gestaltet werden kann. Empfehlen kann ich das Buch allen, die Veränderungen im Unternehmen anstoßen und begleiten, besonders Personen, die Management als Handwerk verstehen und nicht als Philosophie, also die handfesten Rat suchen.“ (Peter Seemann, in: Börsenblatt, 10/August/2010, Vol. 33, S. 43)
