Change Cynicism
Oscar Amundsen, Trond Kongsvik
Change Cynicism will give useful insight to managers, employee representatives and employees who have to tackle change processes.
It is also relevant for students at different levels, including professional training where management- and organization studies are part of the education.
The book tells a three-part story on this theme: First, it looks at which types of understanding employees have that form the basis of change cynicism. Second, it looks at how a cynical attitude arises and can be explained, and third, how this situation can be avoided through employee participation. The book uses a «bottom-up» perspective on organizational change and is therefore a useful supplement to the dominant leader-oriented perspective in the literature on this field.
