Zusatztext "Readable and thought provoking; by an author who has considerable consulting experience at the sharp end. Justly the MCA Business Management Book of the Year (1998)."-- Long Range Planning! Vol 33! 2000 Informationen zum Autor Paul Taffinder is an Associate Partner at Andersen Consulting. Formerly a director of Coopers & Lybrand until 1998, he joined Andersen Consulting to concentrate on helping clients with the leadership of complex change. Following a Master's degree and then PhD in organizational psychology - and what he describes as "a mercifully brief career in the mining industry" - he turned his attention to organizational research and consultancy, becoming passionately interested in the shape of corporations to come and the importance of the socio-psychological driving forces that underlie the world of business. His first book The New Leaders looked specifically at the role of leadership and change, an area in which he has years of in-depth experience consulting internationally. A provocative speaker at international conferences, he is emerging as one of the foremost thinkers on the psychology of organizational change, tenaciously challenging uncritical management orthodoxy, raising the ambition of business leaders, and is now the winner of the prestigious MCA prize.

Einige haben damit Erfolg - viele jedoch nicht. Hier ist die Neuauflage eines preisgekrönten Klassikers als Broschurausgabe! Top-Consultant Paul Taffinder (von Andersen Consulting) analysiert die Bemühungen von über 30 Organisationen weltweit bei der Durchführung des "großen Wandels". Er behauptet u.a., daß die beabsichtigte Eskalation eines Konflikts sogar Innovationen verstärkt, zu qualtitativ höherwertigen Produkten und Dienstleistungen führt und das Engagement für Veränderungen erhöht. Ansätze, die ein standardisiertes Konfliktmanagement vertreten, stellt er in Frage und spricht sich für die Ausnutzung der psychosozialen und organisatorischen Vorteile aus, die durch Konflikte entstehen. Hierzu gehören z.B. Motivation, Verbesserung von gegenseitigem Verständnis und Stimulierung eines Dringlichkeitsgefühls. Mit vielen praktischen Beispielen in Form von Anekdoten und Fallstudien sowie Interviews. (10/99) Zusammenfassung Every year corporations spend billions in pursuit of change. Some are successful. Many are not. Inhaltsverzeichnis Foreword by Group Chief Executive of Lloyds TSB, Peter Ellwood Big Change? Change to What...?
