I cannot believe this book cost me $114.00. Text books are a form of robbery. I once bought a book on project management for a class and after the semester started realized I didn't have the required newer version. You know what the difference was between the two versions? The questions at the end of the chapter, the wording of which was identical in both versions, were in a different order.

This is a handbook for organisational change leaders that inlcudes a selection of classic case studies and relevant research. It combines practical and theoretical material in a well-balanced way. Most of the research in the version reviewed (2017) is before 2014. The handbook needs to be updated in future editions with more current change management research.

A fantastic Organizational Change classroom book that grants a perspective from each change agent role. Highlights the role each person within an organization plays during the change project. Clarified my perspective about individual roles in the work center and defined the parameters of each. Great Stuff!
