Based on 2nd edition. See also:Demers, C. (2008). Organizational change theories: A synthesis. Los Angeles, CA: SAGE Publications.Northouse, P. G. (2010). Leadership: Theory and practice (5th ed.). Thousand Oaks: SAGE Publications.With Burke, Demers, and Northouse's book, you'd have a foundational set of references from which to understand leadership theory and organizational change theories. If you read both Burke and Demers, I'd read Burke first because he takes a more topical and systematic approach to presenting the information. Topics included:1) History of organization change2) Theoretical foundations - open system theory3) Nature of organizational change4) Levels of organization change - individual, group, larger system5) Research and theory6) Conceptual models for understanding organizational change7) Integrated models for understanding change8) Causal Model of organizational performance and change9) Application of causal model10) Transformational leadership11) Leading changeThis book is not a how to book. Instead, it's for those who are interested in gaining a historical and theoretical perspective on organizational change.
