Full Description
Following the success of the first edition, Andriopoulis and Dawson are back with a fully updated and revised edition of Managing Change, Creativity and Innovation. This bestselling text continues to provide a fresh approach to organisational change by linking it to the key drivers of creativity and innovation, but now contains improved coverage of approaches to change, making it an ideal core text for courses in Change Management. It explores change as a human and social process, looking at the vital role leadership, entrepreneurship and creativity play in change management, rather than viewing it as a series of systems and mechanisms. In doing so, it provides all the theoretical and practical understanding you will need as both a student of change and a future manager. Chapters are packed with contemporary cases and examples from around the globe to highlight change management in practice, as well as points for academic debate.
