In Managing Change in Organizations, Stefan Sveningsson and Nadja Sörgärde explore a broad range of perspectives on change management, encouraging critical reflection and making sense of a complex field of theories. Their unique approach based around three key perspectives of change will help students understand:
- How change is accomplished – the tool perspective
- What change means for those involved – the process perspective
And - Why is change initiated (and is it necessary) – the critical perspective
This focus on the common how, what and why questions offers students the chance to learn pragmatic tools for managing change, as well as gain an in-depth understanding of different theories and their value.
The book is complemented by a range of online resources including Power Point Slides, Multiple Choice Questions, and a selection of SAGE Business Cases and journal articles.
