Change Management
The text provides readers with frameworks for applying different models of change to different scenarios; offers proactive approaches to change that relate to business performance and gives practical, step-by-step guidance on handling change.
Change Management is my best recommendation to support topics of strategical change for the digital transformation of software-supplemented products and services.
An excellent text that offers a range of strategies to manage and implement change in the workplace. Using case studies further adds to the credibility of approaches used that can be applied in different contexts.

Change Management – Paton & McCalman
This book gives a very practical guide to the implementation and management of change. The book is set out in four distinct parts. Part one introduces change management, its nature, management & gender implications and mapping change. Part two discusses intervention strategies. Part three looks at the organisation development model, while in part four several practical cases are discussed in detail. Overall the book takes a very practical approach to the management of change and, as mentioned by Rodrigues in the foreword ”the focus very firmly remains on the nuts and bolts of organisational change”.
Most appropriate for course - well developed and thought out
Revised to include power and politics, culture and gender, the authors have also added international case studies that set change management within the context of globalization
