'This manual is a major contribution to the field of organization development and applied behavioral science. It will be a must for practitioners entering the field; teachers and students of organizational behavior; organization, management and OD consultants. I wish I'd written it!'

'This book is written in a down-to-earth style in a form that makes.. Complex concepts accessible to managers, consultants and human resource professionals. The text is alive with diagrams, tables and graphics so that the information is available at a glance. The authors also know that many readers will be fascinated with this topic and want to follow it up; the end section provides a directory for further sources of information and assistance. The authors are all experienced psychologists as well as consultants. This puts them in an excellent position to provide the reader with a practical guide to the essentials of organizational change without avoiding the difficult issue of guiding people through the process of transition. For those with responsibility for facilitating and actioning organizational change, this expanded edition of their manual will provide an invaluable asset.'
