This book presents an in-depth study of organizational change and innovation in one of the UK's leading retail leisure companies. Based on a remarkably deep level of access, the authors provide a fascinating longitudinal study of the management process in action - both the formal, 'on stage' aspects of strategic change and the informal, political behaviour of those involved.
Subjects covered include:
* the changing contexts of the public house business
* from management to managing
* change processes and politics
* control and empowerment
* gender and public house management.
Work, Change and Competition will be essential reading for students of organizational change, as well as all readers interested in the changing nature of management/managing and organizations.

This volume of my thoughts explores the physical & metaphysical realms of Self & Cosmos, as a human entity continues ever-onward towards the edifying search for Truth & Salvation.

This is a slim volume of my Judeo-Christian-dedicated poems, penned in undying reverence towards God Almighty for granting us a likeness made in His image, that we may thus manifest both inwardly & outwardly, His magnificence through the impartation of His Holy Spirit. We hold the highest honour in being bestowed this status on earth and we quickly forget. May His light in us, His children & disciples, continue to shine forth even through the vagaries of our own humanity & through the dark, oppressive void and principalities of this world. Truly, any victory & glory we might obtain on this earth belongs to the Triune God. In Jesus' holy & sovereign name, I thus dedicate this collection of verse. Amen.
