Politics hardly feature. This book tells it like it is: it dishes the dirt, gets low-down, into the funky and fascinating politics of organizational life′ - Stewart Clegg, Aston Business School and University of Technology, Sydney    Combining a practical and theoretical guide to the politics of organizational change, this book provides an exceptional resource to students of change management, and organizational behaviour.      Buchanan and Badham show how the change agent who is not politically skilled will fail, and that it is necessary to be able and willing to intervene in the political processes of the organization.        This revised edition includes a range of excellent new material and features, including:   -\ta new chapter on gender in approaches to organization politics    -\ta full range of teaching materials including case studies, incident reports, self-assessments, and more    -\tEach chapter recommends a feature film (or DVD) to illustrate aspects of organization politics    -\tfresh research evidence    -\trecent literature on the nature of entrepreneurial politics;    -\ta model of political expertise, and how that can be developed       This lively and engaging book is key to MBA and other Masters degree candidates taking courses in change management, and organizational behaviour. It will also be valuable for practising managers on tailored executive programmes in organization politics.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50420501807377,"sku":"GOR004993487","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50736211853585,"sku":"GOR005772147","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51099904246033,"sku":"GOR008076172","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":52153467371793,"sku":"CIN1412928346G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":52280857100561,"sku":"CIN1412928346VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1412928346.jpg?v=1751442631"},{"product_id":"sustainability-and-spread-of-organizational-change-book-david-a-buchanan-9780415370950","title":"The Sustainability and Spread of Organizational Change","description":"This important book examines issues affecting the sustainability and spread of new working practices. The question of why good ideas do not spread, ‘the best practices puzzle’, has been widely recognized. But the ‘improvement evaporation effect’, where successful changes are discontinued, has attracted less attention. Keeping things the way they are has been seen as an organizational problem to be resolved, not a condition to be achieved. This is one of the first major studies of the sustainability of change focusing on the example of the NHS, by a unique team of health service and academic researchers. The findings may apply to a variety of other settings.  The agenda set out in 2000 in The NHS Plan is perhaps the largest organization development programme ever undertaken, in any sector, anywhere. The NHS thus offers a valuable ‘living laboratory’ for the study of change. This text shows that sustainability and spread are influenced by a range of issues - contextual, managerial, political, individual, and temporal. Developing a processual perspective, this fresh analysis considers policy implications, and strategies for managing sustainability and spread. This book will be essential reading for students, managers, and researchers concerned with the effective implementation of organizational change.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51248315859217,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51248317202705,"sku":"NIN9780415370950","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52521788670225,"sku":"NLS9780415370950","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0415370957.jpg?v=1750781675"},{"product_id":"sustainability-and-spread-of-organizational-change-book-david-a-buchanan-9780415370943","title":"The Sustainability and Spread of Organizational Change","description":"An exciting and important addition to organizational change and health care management literature, this topical book presents academically rigorous theory and a unique assessment of NHS change processes.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52427187159313,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52427187781905,"sku":"NLS9780415370943","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780415370943.jpg?v=1759160223"},{"product_id":"high-performance-work-systems-book-david-a-buchanan-9780815367208","title":"High Performance Work Systems","description":"This book analyses the high performance work systems that a number of American and European companies have evolved to meet this challenge.

When can they do it? This book presents a new way to closely read war narratives, questioning the idea of \"combat gnosticism\"--the belief that the experience of war is impossible to communicate to those who have not seen it--that has dominated the discussion.     Adapting Kenneth Burke's scapegoat mechanism to the criticism of literature and film, the author examines three novels from 2012--Ben Fountain's Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk, David Abrams's FOBBIT and Kevin Powers' The Yellow Birds--that represent the U.S. military responses to 9\/11.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52434406179089,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52434406899985,"sku":"NLS9781476666587","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781476666587.jpg?v=1759180504"},{"product_id":"power-politics-and-organizational-change-book-david-a-buchanan-9781526458902","title":"Power, Politics, and Organizational Change","description":"Focusing on power and politics, this third edition combines a practical and theoretical guide to the politics of organizational change and innovation.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52676173234449,"sku":"NLS9781526458902","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53014876782865,"sku":"NIN9781526458902","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781526458902.jpg?v=1762303644"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/author-books-by-david-a-buchanan.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
