Acknowledgements

I reflect back on the past 12 months with great gratitude for my close family: Mum, Clair, Stuart, Rob and Beth and all their loving kindness. I fondly remember what my Dad taught me through his words and actions and I am grateful to have this opportunity to dedicate this textbook to his memory.

Once again I have enjoyed the encouragement of the CIPD editorial team to write and keep on writing the book. They have kept me grounded and focused, which is a tall order for the academic butterfly mind. My dealings on this edition have been with Ruth Anderson, Kirsty Smy and Georgie Smith, to whom I publicly record my thanks. I am aware that behind the scenes there are many others, particularly the anonymous reviewers, so thank you.

I have developed many good friendships and learnt so much from both colleagues and postgraduates at Brighton. I am very tempted to offer a roll call of all the names at this point, but I will limit myself to three, this time around. I thank Aidan Berry for his belief in me back in 1987, when my own self-belief was lacking. I thank Steve Reeve for co-facilitating many enjoyable MA Change Management and external client workshops. And I thank Lew Perren for many supportive conversations whilst writing this edition, which helped make the writing process a joy rather than a chore.

Finally, invariably I find my chapter writing accompanied by the wonderful apocalyptic compositions of Godspeed You Black Emperor their belief in quiet revolutions says it all.

Preface to the second edition

Since the first edition of this textbook was published early in 2006 I have been aware of change within myself, within the groups and teams that I belong to, within the university that employs me and the wider society. It is tempting to describe such processes as a revolution, but largely it has been an evolution I barely notice the few extra grey hairs that appear each day. In a similar manner this textbook has evolved over the last few years informed by my experiences and by helpful feedback.

In introducing this new edition, probably the most tangible change is in terms of the title, changing from Change Management to Managing Change. The new title is believed to better indicate the dynamic and processual nature of changing. The second edition presents an opportunity to make many other enhancements to the textbook, which include the reordering of chapters into distinct parts and the addition of six new chapters, ensuring a breadth of coverage of managing change debates.

The purpose of the book

The aims of the textbook remain the same in seeking to:
