More About This Textbook
Overview
The Third Edition of this bestselling text continues to make clear how effective organization change is grounded in sound knowledge about human behaviour in the workplace. Author W. Warner Burke reviews various models and cases to demonstrate how to diagnose change issues in organizations. Greater emphasis is placed on planned, revolutionary change over the gradual, evolutionary change typically experienced by organizations. The book combines and integrates theory and research with application for insight into all aspects of organization change.
Editorial Reviews
Diana J. Wong
"The conceptual frameworks and quality of integrated research are significantly updated from my current textbook by Cummings & Worley."Booknews
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. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)Leonard D. Goodstein
"Burke manages to integrate the extant theories of organizational change with case examples that make the theories come alive. He skillfully combines his strong interests in the abstract with his four decades of practical, personal experience in facilitating large-scale organizational change efforts. This book is clearly the work of a master at the peak of his career. "LEONARD D. GOODSTEIN
