First published in 1992. Organisational change and innovation has been at the centre of much management literature, which has been informed by debates in organizational behaviour and strategic management. The psychology of how people in organizations adapt to and manage change is key to our understanding of the processes by which such changes can occur successfully. Organizational Change and Innovation brings together the recent research findings of leading European work and organization psychologists, who take stock of existing theories about organizational change in the light of new case material. Their findings, from a range of cultural and national contexts, challenge some previously accepted models and set a new agenda for future research. In particular, the volume provides new perspectives on the person organization relationship; the political qualities of organizational change; the input-output model of organizations as entities; and finally on research methodology.

Eine Vielzahl organisatorischer Reformen scheitert aufgrund des Widerstandes der Mitarbeiter (resistance to change). Veränderungen erfordern Offenheit gegenüber Neuem, und viele Menschen empfinden Angst vor dem Ungewissen. Mit Hilfe eines ökonomischen Laborexperimentes untersucht Jan Philipp Krügel die Umstände, unter denen die Akzeptanz für Wandel hoch und gleichzeitig Widerstände gering ausfallen. Die Ergebnisse der Studie legen nahe, dass Mitarbeiter strukturelle Reformen insbesondere dann unterstützen, wenn sie vom Unternehmen im Vorfeld gut behandelt wurden und als fair empfundene Löhne erhalten.Jan Philipp Krügel ist wissenschaftlicher Mitarbeiter am Lehrstuhl für Volkswirtschaftslehre, insb. Behavioral Economics, an der Helmut-Schmidt-Universität in Hamburg. Seine Forschungsschwerpunkte liegen in den Bereichen experimentelle Ökonomie, Spieltheorie und Verhaltensökonomik.

Change management and organizational development is unthinkable without people. Human beings form its core as both subjects and objects of change. This volume attempts to cut through to the core of change management, to the people that stand at its heart and focuses on their intrinsic role in change management and organizational development. Topics covered in this volume encompass the human element within organizational change, how this impacts roles, dynamics of team interaction and affects the workplace in teaching and learning settings. It also addresses resistance to institutional and organizational change and the central role that agile management plays in this process.

New and current approaches to organizational health intervention research are the main focus of this comprehensive volume. Each chapter elaborates on the respective intervention researcher's concept of a healthy organization, his/her approach to changing organizations, and how to research these interventions in organizations. As a common ground, the book consistently relates to the notion of salutogenesis, focusing on resources and positive outcomes of health-oriented organizational change processes. Out of the virtual dialogue between the chapters, common themes and potential trends for the future are identified.​

A brilliant, original, and powerful look at corporate change--mergers, reorganizations, transformations--and why it succeeds or fails.The Change Monster is the first book on the central issue that blows so many change efforts out of the water: the human interactions and emotional dynamics of the people involved. It is also an unusual book about business, one written from the heart as well as the head. The Change Monster is a tough-minded but compassionate book about leadership when major changes are demanded: after a merger, when profits are falling or markets being lost. It is also about the discipline and kindness it takes to get the people who report to and depend on you to confront their fears and move on to a new agenda, strategy, or company. The Change Monster is a reminder, through stories and anecdotes, of the essentials of the heart and mind that provide the basis for leadership. It also offers warnings that probably will be heeded only after they have been ignored. How, when you think you have made it clear to people what the new objectives are and how they need to behave differently, you are suffering serious illusions. And how, when you think they are not watching, they are, scrutinizing and often misinterpreting your every move.The Change Monster is also a personal journey. It will take you for a roller-coaster ride and make it clear why you have to muster the courage to take people down to reality before you can lead them back up to success, no matter how brilliant the strategy or plan.Jeanie Duck has a voice and style unlike those of any other business book. She introduces her own life into the book and writes with efficiency, informality, humor.The Change Monster has an important tool, the Change Curve, at its core. Developed from Jeanie Duck's years of experience working with some of the most important change efforts of our time, it provides a highly practical way to help you understand and deal with “the change monster” --the emotions and fears everyone has when going through major change. It will serve as your compass in making judgments about where, both intellectually and emotionally, your people are in their readiness and ability to execute a new strategy or make a new organization succeed. So valuable is it that a General Electric vice president commented after seeing its five stages: “I feel like someone who's been suffering for years with an unknown ailment and finally got a clear diagnosis. You can't imagine how helpful this is.”E-mail your comments about The Change Monster to change.monster@bcg.com.
