| Summary: |
This book develops a critical view of the current main theories in change management, showing that most offer partial explanations for change: the planning approach, for instance, considers it as a linear process, while the contingent approach, another renowned view, is essentially focused on contextual pressures.It proposes an original combination of these various theoretical approaches via a comprehensive model, referred to as the five forces model, and suggests using actor-network theory, a French sociological perspective, to guide the change management process. |
