"Managing Text and Cases", 2nd Edition, by Todd Jick and Maury Peiperl is a thoroughly revised version of a well-received volume on the scholarship of change in organizations. It is comprised of six modules that introduce common threads in the ensuing case studies and readings on organizational change. Of the 48 items in this book, 31 are new to this edition. The module introductions have been thoroughly revised; one modular introduction (Module 6, Continuous Change) is brand new.
Read this book to gain context of the topic almost 25 years ago. It is an older text (2003), but packed with timeless insights on leading organizational transformation. Clear frameworks, real cases, and practical tools that still resonate in today’s fast-moving world. A reminder that good change management is as much about people as strategy. Still worth the read.
