Rent 9781412926706 | Organization Change: Theory and Practice

Summary Table of Contents Author Biography

The Second Edition provides an overview of the theoretical and research foundation for our current understanding of organization change, including the nature and types of change organizations experience. The author reviews various models, including the one developed by Burke and Litwin, and uses cases to demonstrate how the models can be used to diagnose change issues in organizations. Emphasizing planned, revolutionary change over the gradual, evolutionary change organizations typically experience, Burke combines and integrates theory and research with application for insight into all aspects of organization change.
