Recenzje

‘This is book that I am very happy to find space for on my bookshelves and that will be taken down and consulted frequently.　 It is an edited collection of scholarly chapters each addressing in its own distinct way the human-psychological nature of organisational change.　 The authors draw on their expertise and knowledge to produce a set of chapters that are both stimulating and cogent.　 In so doing, they cover in detail crucial areas that are usually only dealt with sketchily in most other books on change.’ – Professor Bernard Burnes, Chair of Organisational Change, University of Stirling, UK
