The Theory and Practice of Change Management

John Hayes’s bestselling textbook equips students with all the skills they will need as future managers to successfully diagnose the need for and implement change. It offers unrivalled breadth, covering all of the key theories, tools and techniques on organisational change. The book is underpinned by a theoretical framework based on a process model of change, which views change as a flexible, yet controlled sequence of events. Offering a strong practical orientation, the book is supported by a comprehensive selection of real-world examples and case studies, as well as ‘Change Tools’ that invite students to apply theories to real change scenarios.

The book is ideal for final-year business undergraduates as well as MBA and postgraduate students who are taking modules in change management or organisational change. It is also well used by change practitioners and consultants.
