An exciting and important addition to organizational change and health care management literature, this topical book presents academically rigorous theory and a unique assessment of NHS change processes. Influenced by implementation methods, and also by the wider context, organization political issues and the nature of the changes themselves, the changes under consideration in this book are mostly large-scale, major, systemic, transformational, and strategic in their substance and intent.
