Organisational Change - Sociological Perspectives (Hardcover, New)

There has been an explosion of books in recent years on the nature of organisational change and the management skills needed to carry it through effectively. Most of these are written by change gurus and management consultants offering quick fixes and metaphor laden business toolkits to advise on the necessary skills. However much of this advice is banal and under-theorised Organisational Change redresses this balance by providing an original analysis of change management in organizations, in the light of wider sociological perspectives. It critically examines the, often implicit, theoretical frameworks underpinning many contemporary accounts of organizational change. Subjects covered include:
* the importance of explicit analysis of theory and context
* a critique of populist management gurus and quick-fix 'how-to' solutions
* 'under-socialised' models of change which emphasise structure over human action
* trenchant analysis of 'soft' HRM solutions
* the management of culture.
Radical and innovative, this book is a much needed challenge to the orthodoxies of change management.
