by Patrick Humphreys, Sabino Ayestaran, Andrew Mccosh

Today's managers and decision makers face an escalating challengge in understanding the dynamics of their organizations. A key element in this debate, which is currently the subject of a great deal of interest, is the nature of the linkage, or convergence, between (I) organizational change and transformation, (II) corporate planning and attempts to implement the planning at all levels in the process of transformation, and (III) the role of information technology and systems for decision support and communication in organizations. This book was conceived to address this challenge. It contains papers addressing, especially: frameworks for organisational transformation and decision support; cases and issues in decision support and organisational transformation; issues in corporate growth, upsizing, mergers and acquisitions; issues in downsizing, privatisation, outsourcing and personal innovation.
