‘CHANGE OR PERISH’ OR ‘CHANGE AND PERISH’?
‘Change or perish!’ is an oft-repeated catchphrase. But many companies have changed and perished. Managing change is a delicate exercise that must be handled with utmost care, patience and expertise.
Change Management is a compelling treatise that shows that if change is managed without understanding the genetics of change and change dynamics, the chances are quite bright for, what is called, ‘changed and perished’.
In this revised second edition, all existing chapters have been updated thoroughly to include latest developments in the area. With the addition of two new chapters, this edition is sharper and more focused.
PRAISE FOR THE FIRST EDITION
“Combining grace and mastery that comes from dedicated practice, [the authors] outline a simple approach towards managing creative change…Here is a book not just for the library book shelf but one with nuggets of wisdom that can be applied to change management in companies, in personal lives and at the work place.”
― Livemint.com & The Wall Street Journal
“There are several books on managing change but what sets this book apart is its different tone and tenor, its storytelling technique and its critical and in-depth treatment of the subject matter.”
― The Asian Age
“A striking feature of this book is that it examines change as a natural corollary of life. Hence, it impresses upon the fact that change is not just a mantra for growth, rather improvising and adapting to change is the only way for survival.”
― The Times of India
