The landscape of change is vast, undulating and complex. Julie and Roger have managed to map this landscape very effectively. Their book is well structured combining the rigour of research with great examples from practice. This is an excellent text to use in supporting the teaching of change at either undergraduate or post graduate level. I will certainly be using it.
This is a timely text. A well-structured, comprehensive and innovative book that is both practically engaging and academically grounded. This is a must for any module or programme looking at change in organisations.
Julie Hodges and Roger Gill have presented a comprehensive summary of the landscape of organizational change. ‘Sustaining Change in Organizations’ capably brings together a range of perspective and concepts of change, using these as a foundation for bringing the subject right up to date with contemporary ideas and examples. While the book will win fans from business academia (it is very well referenced and signposts to further reading in each chapter), its accessible style with plenty of bite-sized cases, together with regular summaries, will no doubt see it gracing the desks of those of us tasked with delivering change for a living.
This book supports the module Individual and Organisational Behaviour Change completely. Very useful, with good references to academic research.
Fantastic book, sustainability and change management are examined in real depth.
Some good chapters that are relevant to our module and students
Useful case studies illustrate the text well
I would recommend this book to my Master as well as to my PhD students as an supplemental guide.
The book combines sustainability and change management. It is important that a book gives an overview and combines the two topics. Well done!
