'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.
