Abstract:	This updated third edition of a popular text on change management guides readers through the technological, organizational and people-oriented strategies that managers use to implement change. Revised to include power and politics, culture and gender, the authors have also added international case studies that set change management within the context of globalization. "Change Management" provides readers with frameworks for applying different models of change to different scenarios; offers proactive approaches to change that relate to business performance and gives practical, step-by-step guidance on handling change. Undergraduate and post graduate students who use this book will gain a greater understanding of change management in the workplace.
