Eric Flamholtz, PhD'69, and Yvonne Randle
Leading Strategic Change: Bridging Theory and Practice, Cambridge University Press, 2008.
The book: Why are some companies successful while others experience difficulties and even failure? This book demonstrates that the key to long-term organizational success is the ability to adapt to and manage change. The authors combine theoretical and practical models of organizational change, together with a new theory of leadership, to build a framework for understanding, planning and leading change. The scope and value of this framework is then shown in relation to nine real-world case studies, ranging from relatively small companies to large multinationals. The focus throughout is to provide practical guidance to those concerned with managing and leading organizational change.
The author: Eric Flamholtz is professor emeritus at the Anderson School of Management at UCLA and president of Management Systems Consulting Corporation, which he cofounded in 1978.
