✦ Synopsis
The focus of Organization Change: A Comprehensive Reader is planned organization change. According to Warren G. Bennis, who wrote the foreword to the book, this topic is presented using "the scholar-practitioner model and Lewinian mandate that theory and practice should go together" (p. xiv). The book is successful in meeting Lewin' s mandate, thus making Organization Change: A Comprehensive Reader of interest to organization change scholars, students studying this topic, and practitioners whose work involves developing, leading, or participating in planned organization change efforts.
