Managing Organizational Change: A Multiple Perspectives Approach,
4e, by Palmer, Dunford, and Buchanan, offers managers a multiple
perspectives approach to managing change, which recognizes the
variety of ways to facilitate change and reinforces the need for a
tailored and creative approach to fit different contexts. The
fourth edition offers timely updates to previous content, while
introducing new and emerging trends, developments, themes, debates,
and practices.
In Acts of Modernity, David Buchanan reads nineteenth-century
historical novels from Scotland, America, France, and Canada as
instances of modern discourse reflective of community concerns and
methods that were transatlantic in scope. Following on
revolutionary events at home and abroad, the unique combination of
history and romance initiated by Walter Scott's Waverley (1814)
furthered interest in the transition to and depiction of the
nation-state. Established and lesser-known novelists reinterpreted
the genre to describe the impact of modernization and to propose
coping mechanisms, according to interests and circumstances.
Besides analysis of the chronotopic representation of modernity
within and between national contexts, Buchanan considers how
remediation enabled diverse communities to encounter popular
historical novels in upmarket and downmarket forms over the course
of the century. He pays attention to the way communication
practices are embedded within and constitutive of the social lives
of readers, and more specifically, to how cultural producers
adapted the historical novel to dynamic communication situations.
In these ways, Acts of Modernity investigates how the historical
novel was repeatedly reinvented to effectively communicate the
consequences of modernity as problem-solutions of relevance to
people on both sides of the Atlantic.

influence. In Power, Politics and Organizational Change, David
Buchanan and Richard Badham ask: What's the relevance of politics
