Summary

"The last two decades have been a time of ferment in research on organizational change and innovation. This blossoming of research and theory has been stimulated in large part by concurrent major social changes. Organizations have been growing larger in vertical and virtual connections, merging and acquiring others with colliding cultures, reducing employment and relying on more temporary workers, hiring more technical and professional workers, interfacing in more competitive international and global economies, and adopting highly distributed and flexible work and information technologies. The Handbook of Organizational Change and Innovation is designed to integrate theory and research on these new trends in organizational change and innovation research. It presents a state-of-the-art view that will serve as a springboard for further advances in this area." "Each chapter of this handbook sums up and assesses the state of knowledge in its area and builds on this foundation to advance a new view. The chapters, and the book, advance our thinking by developing integrative theories, by establishing connections among theories from different fields and research traditions, and by introducing new lines of inquiry. The Handbook of Organizational Change and Innovation will be an essential resource for researchers, teachers, and students in organizational studies."--BOOK JACKET.
