Managing Change: Text and Cases - Todd Jick,Maury Peiperl

Description

Managing Change: Text and Cases, 2nd Edition, by Todd Jick and Maury Peiperl is a thoroughly revised version of a well-received volume on the scholarship of change in organizations. It is comprised of six modules that introduce common threads in the ensuing case studies and readings on organizational change. Of the 48 items in this book, 31 are new to this edition. The module introductions have been thoroughly revised; one modular introduction (Module 6, Continuous Change) is brand new.

Key Features

All new readings, including some from media sources not used in the 1st edition (e.g., FastCompany, Internet World), update the text and provide classroom resources on media that students are reading today. These readings give students the most current information on topics relevant to the organizational changes they may have to navigate as managers themselves.

Many completely new case studies (some never before published in a textbook ? for example, Beta and Psi in Module 2) also populate the text with up-to-date materials. Students benefit from up-to-date information on the companies profiled in many of the first edition?s cases.

Completely new module (6) entitled Continuous Change uses current cases and readings to convey the notion that organizational change is a recurring phenomenon in the business enterprise of the 21st century. This material also creates a logical liaison to other courses in which students studying phenomena like disruptive technologies, which affect the human capital of the firm in profound ways.

Module 5 has been renamed Leading Change: The Personal Side because the majority of the case studies and readings in the module shed light on the individual general manager?s role in affecting change in their organizations, pointing out to students that not all change is implemented or handled by a team or committee.

Authors continue with a rigorous framework for examining organizational change in the 2nd edition. Students benefit from a pedagogical structure that provides first a case study of a real company paired with a reading that generalizes the problem in focus in the case.Several case studies are marked as Change Classic Cases as they are central to the scholarship of organizational change. Students need to learn the lessons of the business past to become well-rounded professional managers who understand the deeper implications of change within organizations they manage.
