    this is a really good and important book. it is for the professional and anyone interested in understanding management change and how to deal with a topic most inside the box thinkers would rather not have to deal with. I have used this book many years and am always learning from it.

    2.0 out of 5 stars Sorry, don't waste your time. The other reviews are not indicative of the worth of this book
    Reviewed in the United States on October 16, 2021
    Verified Purchase
    After such a great summary of ratings on this book, I bought it 6 years ago. Finally go around to reading it, it wasn't worth the time/effort/money. It's simply too dated and even the foundations aren't applicable to today's world. There are many better books on change management out there that are timely and timeless.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Nothing New
    Reviewed in the United States on August 9, 2010
    Nicely written but nothing original. Everything in this book is drawn from what then was academically the "thing to say" and from well-known writers in the field. It's like the Pope preaching "peace"- an over generally positive message that no one can disagree with but where his role is not realistically connected in any way to overall implementation or collective responsibility. Good basis for theoretical knowledge, however, if you own a business, it is obvious that the author has neither really owned nor operated a business, and I'm not speaking of "consulting"...this is what most university professors in management studies/organizational behavior do on the side- but of a business in which you have 10 or more employees on a payroll, in which you have to deal with inventories, uncertain customer demand, Federal-State-Local taxes that eat away your profits, 5 year leases, ridiculously high sales taxes (California), threats of bankruptcy, health care for your employees, unemployment/worker's compensation, county inspectors, etc. It is all too easy for academians to write books focusing on one variable alone in a very complex equation, then sell the book and make millions. Worth buying and reading but continue using your common American "horse-sense" to separate the wheat from the weeds. Management studies/Organizational Behavior need a new theory which includes holism of the "unspeakable" elements of business and management. In the same way that professional bodybuilders will not mention that they take "steriods" in their books on nutrition and weighttraining, we need a new theory of management and organization studies which openly discusses its own "steriods".

    Excellent book: Kanter delves into the world of change in detail. 4 stars because the book is based on earlier interpretations of change.
