Description:


The need for change within organizations is not uncommon,
whether as a result of financial crisis, collaboration issues
following an international merger, or other major events. But how
can organizations effectively transform themselves? Jaap Boonstra
argues that it is not possible to achieve positive strategic change
without cultural change, but cultural change is itself not a simple
process. So what steps can leaders take in order to tackle cultural
change successfully and what are meaningful change strategies?


Offering a clear vision on organizational change, Cultural
Change and Leadership in Organizations outlines the conditions
and factors necessary for an organization?s positive
strategic and cultural transformation. Boonstra explores the
relationship between culture and leadership, and details ways to
effectively combine and organize diverse approaches for strategic
and cultural change within organizations. Throughout the text, he
combines inspirational and conceptual material with practical
examples and concrete interventions for planning and implementing
these changes. The text is an invaluable addition for students of
MBA and executive MBA programs, as well as a broad range of
practitioners.
