Rapid growth. Rapid decline. Economic boom. Financial crisis. In order to maximise their
success, organisations today need to adapt to a turbulent environment. Yet one of the world's
leading consultancies, Bain Co, claims that the failure rate of change management projects
is around 70 per cent. Managing change is not easy.
The purpose of this leading textbook is to help you understand and consider the theoretical
approaches to change and to make sense of these in the light of practical examples. The fifth
edition of Managing Change contains:
• detailed examination of organisation theory and behaviour, including key themes such as
culture, power and politics
• clear explanation of the rational and emergent views of strategy, and the relationship
between organisational strategy and change
• Ideas and Perspectives boxes to highlight key models, theories and frameworks
• a thorough review of the main approaches to change and the relationship between
leadership and change
• 12 Case Studies and many more shorter Mini-Cases to illustrate change management in
context
Managing Change is written for students on modules covering management,
strategy and organisational change as part of undergraduate and
postgraduate programmes.
Bernard Burnes is Professor of Organisational Change at Manchester
Business School.
