It explains basic concepts and theoretical approaches and their practical application to organisations."Managing Organisational Change" covers nine topic areas. They are: Understanding change - charts what organisational change entails, how it comes about, its constituents and its impact upon organisations; Strategy and change - examines the concept of strategy, the role of strategic planning and thinking in the strategy-making process and the relationship between strategy and change; Change tools - deals with the activities, programs and tools managers employ to make change actually occur; and, New forms of organising - highlights the most recent developments in organisational design, and considers the impact of these structures upon change.It also includes: Human resource management - discusses the management of human resources as levers for organisational change; Leadership and change - considers the dimensions of leadership and its effect upon change; Power and resistance to change - reveals the mechanisms through which power is used to prevent or facilitate change; Measuring and evaluating change - explains the methods of measuring the progress and success of change programs; and Problems of human adjustment and economic sustainability - considers the personal adjustments individuals face when confronted by change.
