Power, Politics, and Organizational Change: Winning the Turf Game

By David A. Buchanan and Richard J. Badham

This book offers a theoretical and practical guide to the politics of change, which is an aspect of organizational life that plays a more significant role than is commonly admitted. The focus lies with the internal change agent, rather than with external consultants, as change is now a key element in the roles of most managers. A fresh perspective is developed, emphasizing the context in which the change agent operates, explicit and tacit warrants for particular actions, and skills in accounting for one′s political behavior.
