    • Managing Change : A Critical Perspective Reviews

    Combines a wealth of research with case studies and questions to challenge and engage students. One of few texts to fully cover the depth and breadth of change in an accessible way. Suitable for a range of courses, from specialist HR modules to broader MBAs. * Maryam Herin, Senior Lecturer, Manchester Metropolitan University Business School *
    Current management education must be more critical in its approach and this book is positively pitched in that direction. The multidisciplinary, multi-perspective and critical approach of the book challenges students on a number of levels, and is balanced with excellent features such as examples linking theory to practice and the annotated list of key readings. * Cecile Lowe, Senior Lecturer, Thames Valley University Business School *
    An extremely challenging, critical and student-friendly text. It is very clear and above all concise covering all the main themes needed by students. * Carolyn Ward, Senior Lecturer, Teesside University Business School *
