Diagnosing Organizations: Methods, Models, and Processes: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Diagnosing Organizations: Methods, Models, and Processes" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

The Third Edition of the bestselling Diagnosing Organizations shows how consultants and applied researchers can help decision makers quickly and flexibly diagnose problems and challenges and decide how to deal with them. This thoroughly revised edition can help practitioners of diagnosis directly address concerns that are critical to clients, rather than just provide feedback on current conditions and operations. In an authoritative yet readable fashion, author Michael I. Harrison presents updated treatments of the uses of diagnosis, evaluating organizational effectiveness, improving team performance, planning organization redesign projects, and assessing organization-environment relations and competitive strategy. Also treated are the politics of change management, professional dilemmas, and ethical issues confronting practitioners.

Preface
In the decade since publication of the second edition of this book, several trends have emerged that make diagnosis of organizational problems and challenges even more crucial for change management than in the past. Businesses and even some not-for-profit organizations face increasingly uncertain operating conditions and stiff competition at home and abroad. Major business consulting firms have expanded their services in change management. Within firms, managers with technical or business backgrounds, rather than specialists in human resources and planned change, are leading ambitious reorganizations, implementing new technologies, and changing management practices. These changes seek dramatic improvements in productivity, competitiveness, and quality. Without careful diagnosis of organizational conditions and reasoned choice of change mechanisms, consultants and managers risk imitating fashionable management techniques that may not suit the focal organization and can even harm it. Similarly, when managers forge strategic alliances and introduce information technologies that are attractive from a business standpoint, they also need to assess how well these moves fit the less visible human features of their organizations, such as reward systems, culture, work practices, and cross-functional coordination.
