This review is from: Managing Change in Organisations (Paperback)

This book is useless in learning change management. There are very few directions, methods or models. There is no thread. The author seems to have written every thought that came to mind in the moment of writing. I am sure the author is an expert in the field, but he has no idea of teaching or writing books.
