Steering change is a major issue for managers today. But how do we develop the ability to control it, and not just become a spectator to it? Following on from the success of his previous books, The Customer's Victory and The Chemistry of Change , François Dupuy further develops his theories about the relationship between sharing knowledge and managing change. With a strong pedagogical format, new case studies and a helpful glossary, this is an invaluable guide both for managers having to deal with change implementation and for students and researchers of change management.
