Description

This compact core textbook gives students an overview of how organisations experience change and shows how to develop a critical lens of how change is managed at the organisational, individual and group level of analysis. The authors cover all the topics requited for achieving success on Change Management modules: different classical and modern theoretical frameworks, concepts, techniques and tools for understanding and managing change are explored in each chapter. A focus on employability skills permeates the text, while a spotlight on psychology enables readers to reflect on their individual personalities, measure their emotional intelligence and assess how to best manage themselves and others. In addition to the more traditional cases expected to be taught in an organisational change module, there is rich and diverse post-Covid case study material to draw upon, as well as a running fictional case study and accompanying 'Consultant in the Chair' exercises.
