MEGACHANGE --- HOW TODAY'S LEADING COMPANIES HAVE TRANSFORMED
THEIR WORKFORCES by William F. Joyce. The Free Press, 1999
PREFACE --- This is a book about organizations and organizational change and "theory"
for "practice." It is also eclectic and integrative, and reflects an organizational reality that
is too often fragmented by conventional theory and practice.
What is needed is relevant theory that addresses the real problems
of large-scale organizational change. It also shows what is faddish, misinformed and, ultimately,
dangerous and unethical. (p1x-xi)
