Organisation Change: Development and Transformation looks at the development of organisations and the ways organisations evolve to reflect what’s going on around them, as well as ways you can approach this transformation. The text also discusses the future directions of change management, and why gaining a competitive advantage is the goal of many organisations. To emphasise the relationship between theory to practice, this text provides 10 local and international case studies, descriptions from practitioners and a range of online cases.
