Reviews

It would be hard to improve on the last edition of Hayes' book, but this version does. Wonderfully clear, it is a useful book for course leaders in the human side of strategy, and a great lifelong learning companion for anyone moving into a change agent's role or looking to change their organisation. The new, reframed chapters on making change stick are a great addition. * Peter Antonioni, Lecturer, University College London, UK. * Getting people to change, even when it is in their best interest to do so, is the most difficult task faced by any leader. Hayes makes this content readily accessible, in one of the best management texts I have ever read. * Nicholas S. Miceli, Associate Professor of Management/Accounting, Park University, USA. * This text has three great strengths as an effective learning resource: it is one of the few texts where chapters clearly align with managing the change process; it emphasises the people management issues associated with implementing change; and each chapter provides at least one brief practical case study, drawing from a range of industries and organisations located around the globe. * Jan Fermelis, Senior Lecturer, Deakin University, Australia. *
