This book offers a unique way of understanding the processes of organizational change. Rather than being structured as a 'how to' book, Making Sense of Organizational Change provides the reader with practical insights and skills for managing (or resisting) organizational change.
Its strength lies in three key areas:
The discussion and explanation of a strategic sensemaking approach
A longitudinal study of a major company which underwent several organizational changes
A detailed examination of the drive for organizational change apparent among western companies over the last 25 years.
Applying an invaluable sensemaking framework to organizational change in both a practical and accessible way, and combining the theory and practice of implementing change, this book represents an instructive and informative view on the implications of change in the business world
