Change is a constant in today's organizations. Leaders, managers, and employees must understand how to implement planned change and handle unexpected change. The Sixth Edition of Organization Change: Theory and Practice provides an eye-opening exploration into the nature of change by presenting the latest evidence-based research to discuss a range of theories, models, and perspectives on organizational change. Bestselling author, W. Warner Burke, skillfully connects theory to practice with modern cases of effective and ineffective organizational change, recent examples of transformational leadership and planned and revolutionary change, and best practices to successfully influence change. The fully-updated sixth edition includes a new chapter on current evidence about organization change, including reviews of prescriptive models of planned change, evidence-based principles of change management, the role of an organization's history as part of the change process, and leaders' impact on organizational change.
