Description and Table of Contents
Description
This text should be useful reading for all general managers who want to initiate organizational change. Managers develop their own view and understanding of how an organization works. They need to relate their own vision of how they would like to see the organization with existing knowledge about organizational theory and creating new cultures. The first part of the book provides this integration. The second part of the book offers an insight into how managers can approach the process of managing change, and a practical guide to improving their own skills. The discussion presents: case study material of how managers have sought to bring about change; suggestions as to how managers can examine and refine their own approaches to creating organizational change. This text should be an valuable read for general managers in the National Health Service. It will also be of interest to managers in other industrial contexts who are seeking an analysis of organizational change and how it can be carried out in the NHS.
