| Summary |
"In Performance-Driven Organizational Change, Lex Donaldson proposes a new theory of organizational adaptation and growth. Citing examples drawn from research across multiple disciplines, he argues that recurrent crises of poor organizational performance are required to induce the adaptive change necessary for organizations to grow larger and more effective." "Recommended for advanced students, researchers, and scholars in the areas of organization theory, organizational change, strategy, human resource management, and economics."--BOOK JACKET |
