Philip Moorley a Change Master?

I have used this book for the past three semesters in my MBA class Organizational Theory and Behavior at the University of St. Thomas in Minneapolis. Students like the book because it is written as a novel. They identify with the main character and see the types of dilemmas that change brings for the leader of an organization. They also appreciate that the book is international taking place on England. Some of the cultural aspects of the company's culture become evident and are central to the change story. Students also like the fact that personal and business issues are illustrated causing us to discuss relocation, stress and family balance issues. I like the book for these reasons as well. In addition, I appreciate that Warner presents change as an imporatant business process with a language, tools, concepts and steps like other important business processes.I recommend this book to faculty who teach organizational behavior courses, to students of change and to business leaders caught up in thge dilemmas of change.
