Business is changing at break-neck speed, so managers must be increasingly
active in reorganizing their firms to gain a competitive edge.
Organizational Theory, Design, and Change continues to provide students with the most
up-to-date and contemporary treatment of the way managers attempt to increase
organizational effectiveness. By making organizational change the centerpiece in a
discussion of organizational theory and design, this text stands apart from other books on
the market.
The sixth edition has been updated to reflect the most recent trends in real-world
managing techniques. Examples have been updated to provide vivid illustrations of such
techniques in action.
