Change management : a critical perspective Upplaga 1

In recent years change has come to the forefront of management thinking because it is seen as an integral part of how a company survives and grows in a competitive market. Thus, the discussion of how and why change occurs within organisations and how this process can be managed, as well as Individual change - ensuring that individuals move forward and change at the same rate as the organisations they work in - are both hot topics. This new text seeks to cover all the key elements of Organisational, Team and Individual Change with a critical edge. Because change is a complex subject area that is often difficult to categorise, this text seeks to offer a critical perspective that challenges the main assumptions in this area, as well as ensuring that the complexities of this area remain clear, and the key concepts are accessible for the student. This book is a primary market for students studying Change modules on HR and Business degree programmes at both undergraduate (2nd or final year) and postgraduate level (MA HRM, MSc HRM, MBA)
