Opis

Managing Organisational Change describes change as a socially constructed process, reinforced by the interactions of employees at all levels. The book emphasises the fact that change is an on-going phenomenon, not an event that will soon be over once the consultants have left, but a permanent feature of an adaptable organisation.
