'There are many books on change management but this is a must-buy because of its emphasis on the lived experience of change and the centrality of organizational process, emergence and voice. The "one size fits all" solutions of the consultancies is made obsolescent by this sophisticated, contemporary approach and its apposite cases.'David Weir, Professor of Intercultural Management, York St John University, USA

This critical text challenges what we think we know about organizational change in an insightful, engaging and enjoyable text, a must-read for any scholar in this field of study.'Richard Jefferies, Lecturer in Management, University of the West of Scotland, UK
