The literature on Change Management works from the premise that
management possesses the power to achieve change and this is
evident in that resistance is little more than a footnote in most
textbooks. This assumption sits uneasily, however, with the high
failure rate of Change Management interventions. This book seeks to
explain this paradox by providing a critical 'relational' approach
towards Change Management. What would a book on Change Management
look like that takes resistance seriously? This book attempts
precisely this by exploring how resistance is as much a part of
change as the strategies of those that seek to enact it. The
findings are drawn from a qualitative study of organizational
transformation in a Local Government Authority in the UK. Its
detailed empirical insights enable readers to explore
organizational change from many different perspectives considering
issues such as the strategic use of metaphor and counter-metaphors;
management and employee resistance; organizational politics and
cynicism. It will be of interest to researchers, academics, and
students interested in change management, organizational studies,
human resource management, and critical management studies.
