This is a practical introduction to the management of strategic change. The book takes an interdisciplinary approach to the conduct of change in the real world. The author avoids an overly academic approach and stresses the international dimension to competition and change. Mini-cases are used throughout to illustrate the theory, and a further 20% of the whole book comprises full case studies addressing a wide range of business sectors and different sized companies.

This book originates from the work of contributors to initiatives and global networks promoting and pursuing lines of enquiry that recognise and probe relationships between sustainable consumption, design and production, and the implications of those relationships for new economic activity and the way we live and govern ourselves.
