Table of ContentsReviewsIt is foolish to ignore or marginalize the role of power and politics in organizational change, yet many practitioners and academics do just that. Fortunately, this must-read book addresses these issues in a clear, concise and practical manner [..] This edition provides a timely update, building on the quality of the previous editions, especially in terms of its reinterpretation of Machiavelli's work. I would strongly recommend it to anyone involved in change, whether student, academic or practitioner. -- Professor Bernard Burnes Long regarded as a realist's guide to management (as opposed to much of the management literature that often appears to have a reality deficit ion its recipes for success), Power, Politics and Organizational Change is now in its third edition. It really is a new improved version and bang up to date. A new generation of students, introduced to the necessity of political skills, entrepreneurship and power steering, will be better able to navigate the potholes and pratfalls of the corporate landscape and its rhetoric as a result of reading this book and thus be better agents of change or resistance to its more outlandish claims. -- Professor Stewart Clegg It is an original, well written, frank and insightful book that combines academic knowledge with a good and valuable sense of the realities of organisational life and change projects. -- Professor Mats Alvesson It is foolish to ignore or marginalise the role of power and politics in organisational change, yet many practitioners and academics do just that. Fortunately, this must-read book addresses these issues in a clear, concise and practical manner. The first two editions of this book were excellent and very welcome. This edition provides a timely update, building on the quality of the previous editions, especially in terms of its reinterpretation of Machiavelli's work. I would strongly recommend it to anyone involved in change, whether student, academic or practitioner. -- Professor Bernard Burnes Author InformationDavid is Emeritus Professor of Organizational Behaviour at Cranfield University School of Management, and Visiting Professor at Nottingham Business School.
