Sustaining Change in Organizations

The landscape of change is vast, undulating and complex. Julie and Roger have managed to map this landscape very effectively. Their book is well structured combining the rigour of research with great examples from practice. This is an excellent text to use in supporting the teaching of change at either undergraduate or post graduate level. I will certainly be using it.

-- Malcolm Higgs

This is a timely text. A well-structured, comprehensive and innovative book that is both practically engaging and academically grounded. This is a must for any module or programme looking at change in organisations.

-- Gareth Edwards
Julie Hodges and Roger Gill have presented a comprehensive summary of the landscape of organizational change.  ‘Sustaining Change in Organizations’ capably brings together a range of perspective and concepts of change, using these as a foundation for bringing the subject right up to date with contemporary ideas and examples.  While the book will win fans from business academia (it is very well referenced and signposts to further reading in each chapter), its accessible style with plenty of bite-sized cases, together with regular summaries, will no doubt see it gracing the desks of those of us tasked with delivering change for a living.   -- Dr Simon Haslam
Some good chapters that are relevant to our module and students -- Miss Roz Gasper * drupal *
The book combines sustainability and change management. It is important that a book gives an overview and combines the two topics. Well done! -- Mr Michael Garkisch * drupal *
This is an excellent general text which is superbly written, very well structured, and reader friendly.
It is entirely suitable for essential reading in the Strategic HR Interventions module on the MSc HRM programme.

I have also recommended it colleagues in the University of Lincoln and expect it to be included in the distance learning recommended reading materials for their BSc Management of Change Module.

I would recommend this text to anyone teaching modules requiring students to become interested in change management and indeed to managers contemplating a change management programme. -- Mr William Metcalf * drupal *
Good, clear concise information, nicely presented. -- Mrs Evelyn Dolby * drupal *
Interesting references and very well researched.
Due to the very nature of the subject it is refreshing to see a book that is right up to date with with contemporary ideas and examples.
Very useful for students for wider reading. -- Mrs Laura Castles * drupal *
Useful case studies illustrate the text well -- Ms Janette Bradnick * drupal *
useful for all types of health care professions -- Ms Sheila Stott * drupal *
I would recommend this book to my Master as well as to my PhD students as an supplemental guide. -- Professor Alfred Zimmermann * drupal *
It is good book for Organizational Behavior cources. I recommend it both my undergraduate and postgraduate students. -- Professor KURTULUS KARAMUSTAFA * drupal *
This is an excellent book. It is well researched, theoretically sound and very relevant for informing the practice of managing and sustaining change in organizations. The theoretical issues are dealt with carefully and this book does add important points of analysis to the existing literature on organizational change. And it is also very much appealing for those who are looking for how to translate theory into practice. It should be a must in any course on organizational change. -- Professor Manuel Graca * drupal *
