It's a nice summary of the literature giving you a wide perspective before diving deep into any of the particular change management areas.

Giving it a 2.5 rounding up. Good content, not a very engaging read.

Just finished this for my doctorate. Some helpful insight into understanding how to organize a business' adaptability to changes, whether it be governmental or trying to provide a turnover for a company going under. It was supplemented by some real case analysis of companies with financial problems. Knowing that I found it critical how to shape human behavior towards new organizational goals, It is something necessary to look back as needs fit so it will sit on my shelf until then.

This book is clearly a text book, but as I flipped the pages I didn't feel like I was reading a text book at all. Putting clarity on many situations in my own work life, I found Spector's work to be inspiring, informative and thought provoking for business and life in general. An easy read for those interested in the topic and very helpful for those seeking more knowledge. I couldn't put it down!

Decent text and overview of the topic with an emphasis on analysis of practical applications of the different theories. Full of a bit too much jargon or business-speak for my taste, but not in a way that detracts from understanding the concepts.

Read this book as part of my masters program. Concise, full of information, both theory and practical.

[Kalle Wescott · Rating 4 out of 5]

While not very well written, at least there are plenty of practical, real examples and case studies (in other words, not just theory, but practice, too).

Extremely poor editing for a $100+ book. Totally a joke.

Commented on it.
