Management Systems is proud to announce that Leading Strategic and Organizational Change: Bridging Theory and Practice by Dr. Eric Flamholtz and Dr. Yvonne Randle will be published in Spring 2008 by Cambridge University Press.

In Leading Strategic and Organizational Change: Bridging Theory and Practice, the authors present examples of successful and unsuccessful change in real companies.  They draw upon theory as well as their own research and expertise, presenting a practical "framework" for understanding, planning and leading change.  Lessons are presented in nine case studies of companies of varying size and type all experiencing strategic or organizational change. The case studies (based on many former and current Management Systems clients) include:

*Starbucks Coffee Company

            *Countrywide Financial Corporation

            *Tashman

            *Infogix

            *Indian Oil

*Tata Steel

*Westfield's

*Pardee Homes

*Indy Mac Bank

The case studies in Leading Strategic and Organizational Change:  Bridging Theory and Practice provide the basis for insights and new theory for leading change.
