Description
This book presents an in-depth study of organizational change and innovation in one of the UK's leading retail leisure companies. Based on a remarkably deep level of access, the authors provide a fascinating longitudinal study of the management process in action - both the formal, 'on stage' aspects of strategic change and the informal, political behaviour of those involved.
Subjects covered include:
* the changing contexts of the public house business
* from management to managing
* change processes and politics
* control and empowerment
* gender and public house management.
Work, Change and Competition will be essential reading for students of organizational change, as well as all readers interested in the changing nature of management/managing and organizations.

Reviews / Votes
'This rich and detailed longitudinal study of a well-known company makes fascinating reading. There are relatively few 'inside' accounts like this one available. Work, Change and Competition thus makes a significant contribution to the literature of organizational development and change.' - Dave Buchanan, De Monfort University'THe authors use an accessible and informal writing style which surprisingly would please both academics and practitioners. The book makes a great contribution to an unknown area and therefore should be read widely.' - International Journal Of Toursim Research
