Organization Change: Theory and Practice

This volume provides an overview of the theoretical and research foundation needed to comprehend the nature and types of change organizations experience as they evolve to keep pace with the external environments in which they function. Burke (psychology and education, Teachers College, Columbia U.) reviews various models and uses case studies to show how they can be used to diagnose change issues. With a focus upon planned, revolutionary action, he discusses how to understand, lead, manage, and change organizations. Useful for MBA- level students, as well as professionals and consultants.
