Rethinking Change Management

Reviews / Votes

'Rethinking Change Management develops actionable principles for effective organizational change by combining knowledge from science and practice. Recognizing the many forms organizational change can take, this book calls attention to the different perspectives scholars and practitioners have taken, calling attention to to commonalities and contingencies. Highly recommended.' -- Denise M. Rousseau, H.J.Heinz II University Professor of Organizational Behavior and Public Policy; Heinz College and Tepper School of Business, Carnegie Mellon University; Academic Board President of the Centre for Evidence-Based Management 'Rethinking Change Management is a collection of essays by leading scholars that is far more than a collection. Instead of a set of separate ideas, these seven chapters each provide different perspectives that cohere and come together to provide a fuller understanding of organizational change and how to manage it in the modern era. The result is both scholarly and pragmatic - rigorous and grounded in the literature yet meaningfully connected to practice.' 'This is an ambitious, challenging, and timely book. Traditional change models for organisations need scrutiny as technological and environmental disruption creates unprecedented conditions for leaders to deal with. This book offers a clear critique of current theory and practice and suggests ways in which our thinking about change can adapt. The authors offer compelling theories, cases, and stories to illustrate how the world of work and of leadership is shifting, making this book a highly valuable resource for people seeking to manage and lead change effectively.' -- Philip Stiles, Cambridge Judge Business School 'A vital resource for management graduate students, this book integrates leadership, ethics, and digital transformation within a nuanced, context-driven framework. By inviting readers to interpret resistance as a source of insight and a catalyst for change, it delivers both scholarly depth and actionable guidance.' -- Wenchuan Liu, Professor and Dean of International Education, Capital University of Economics and Business, Beijing
