Organizational Change and Redesign: Ideas and Insights for Improving Performance

What are the root causes of the increasingly rapid rate of change in
the business environment? What patterns exist in the ways
environmental change leads to organizational change? Confronted with a
state of continuously accelerating change, what should managers and
organizational scientists do? Organizational Change and Redesign
addresses these questions to provide a clear and comprehensive
understanding of the relationships among environmental changes,
organizational redesign, and performance. This work draws on
multi-year studies of dozens of organizations and on hundreds of
interviews with top managers. It includes chapters formed as practical
tutorials on how to think about and manage organizational change and
redesign, making it an essential tool for business scholars, students,
and practicing managers in the middle and upper levels of
organizations.
