Front Cover
David Mayle
SAGE, Aug 30, 2006 - Business & Economics - 288 pages

Building on the success of the Second Edition with 19 new chapters, Managing Innovation and Change showcases the best work of thinkers writing in this area and provides a coherent picture of key ideas and concepts to have emerged from this exciting field.

Frequently radical and intentionally provocative in terms of topic and treatment, the book:

  • Covers the increasing diversity of pressures to which modern enterprises are subjected
  • Reviews some of the more persistent acronyms to which the art of management is increasingly prone
  • Examines the nature of innovation
  • Looks at the broader issues surrounding change
  • Turns to those attributes of leadership which are consistent with the successful management of innovation and change
