The environment of modern organizations is so complex and volatile
that we take for granted that organizational change is necessary
for organizational survival. Yet the literature on organizations
has for years described manifold obstacles to such change. First
published in 1971, this book extracts from that literature and from
experience a comprehensive yet concise overview of those barriers.
Because these elements of the analysis are as valid now as when
they were originally written, The Limits of Organizational Change
is still widely read and cited nearly a quarter-century later. From
the premises of this argument, Kaufman drew a number of conclusions
about organizational survival and extinction, age and size,
centralization and decentralization, and organizational evolution.
Subsequent research and reflection induced him to refine and modify
some of those inferences. The modifications are spelled out in a
new preface that gives fresh relevance to his findings and his
conjectures. Yet The Limits of Organizational Change is not a
ponderous, labored work. As one reviewer remarked, it is "a
delightful set of essays . . . a review of empirical research in a
witty, conversational style. . . ." (The Rocky Mountain Social
Science Journal). It is a book one can enjoy as well as profit
from, and will be a useful tool for managers, organizational
studies scholars, and sociologists.
