"Easy to read, students will be able to understand and relate."

Hal Kingsley
SUNY Buffalo State College

"A text with a creative orientation to the topic. Easy for students to comprehend knowledge and apply through activities. Simply a
great text for highlighting self-reflection and self-assessment throughout."

practical, comprehensive, and does not have as much redundancy across chapters as other organizational change textbooks do."
