About the Authors
Patrick Dawsonis Professor of Change, Creativity and Innovation at the University of Adelaide and Emeritus Professor at the University of Aberdeen. He holds a PhD in Industrial Sociology from the University of Southampton and during his early career, worked at the University of Surrey and the University of Edinburgh. He moved to Australia in the 1980s and took up a position at the University of Adelaide.
In studying change in organizations based in the UK, Australia and New Zealand, Patrick has worked on a number of Australian Research Council (ARC) and Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) funded projects in collaboration with scholars at other universities. He has examined change in a number of organizations, including: Pirelli Cables, British Rail, General Motors, Hewlett Packard and the CSIRO.
Since taking up the Salvesen Chair at Aberdeen, he has held visiting professorships at Roskilde University, Lund University and the Danish Technical University, as well as an adjunct professorship at Monash University and a research professorship at the University of Wollongong in Australia.Constantine Andriopoulosis Professor of Innovation and Entrepreneurship and the Associate Dean for Entrepreneurship at Cass Business School, City University of London. He holds a PhD in Marketing from the University of Strathclyde and has previously worked at the University of Strathclyde, the University of Aberdeen, Brunel University and Cardiff University.
His research focuses on how organizational paradoxes enable innovation in a diverse range of contexts. In particular, he studies how companies in high-velocity markets can excel at both incremental (exploiting current capabilities) and discontinuous innovation (exploring into new space). He also studies the role of curiosity in organizational life.
His research, funded by the Carnegie Trust and the Institute for Innovation & Information Productivity, has been published in leading academic journals such as
Organization Science,
Human Relations,
California Management Review, Long Range Planning,
European Journal of Marketing,
European Journal of Information Systems, International Small Business Journal and
International Marketing Review, among others.

Acknowledgements
This book draws on research carried out by the authors in a number of organizations over many years. The first acknowledgement must therefore go to the organizations that we have worked with. Their time and expertise have been critical in helping us deconstruct and demystify processes of change, creativity and innovation. We would like to acknowledge the openness of these companies in allowing us access to do research, as well as the enthusiasm of many people in relaying their work experience and in being available for individual and group interviews. As the book draws on case material that has been published elsewhere, we would also like to gratefully acknowledge Routledge for permission to reproduce a teaching case study from Dawson (2003) Reshaping Change: A Processual Perspective (pp. 2027).
From the courses that we have run at undergraduate and postgraduate levels through to conference papers, journal articles and detailed discussions with academic colleagues, we have been able to refine and develop the presentation of what are extensive fields of study into what we hope is a highly accessible and readable textbook. To our academic colleagues and friends who have reviewed earlier versions of the book or engaged in debate over ideas and concepts, we offer our thanks. These include: Richard Badham, David Boje, David Buchanan, Bernard Burnes, Kathryn Charles, Stuart Clegg, Lisa Daniel, Robin Dawson, Jane Farmer, Karin Garrety, Liv Gish, Heather Marciano, Muyyad Jabri, Anne Langley, Peter McLean, Ian McLoughlin, David Preece, Julian Randall, Stephanie Reissner, Jonathan Scott, Christopher Sykes, Eden Weibe and Michael Zanko. We would also like to give broad acknowledgement to all our students (undergraduate, postgraduate taught and PhD) for their useful feedback during the many hours spent in lectures, tutorials and one-to-one debates.
