Summary "The Change Game is an account of change in business in the West - where it is coming from and where it is taking us. It powers the discussion about change with a host of detailed company stories, talked through in context to make the findings credible and meaningful." "Based on first-hand interviews with managers from around the world, the book provides insights into the major global trends and issues that are influencing organizations today, and what they mean for the future." "The Change Game flags the causes and consequences of change, highlights some fates worth avoiding and those that are worth pursuing. It will put your own experience in context."--Jacket
