Understanding Change

The book explores the pervasive nature of change in the late twentieth century, highlighting its impact on organizations across developed economies. With increased global competition and technological advancements, many businesses have pursued reinvention to survive, often through acquisitions. In mature sectors, consolidation has become common, leading to pressures such as job insecurity and diminished employee commitment. The narrative delves into how terms like "continuous process improvement" and "downsizing" reflect the challenges faced by both organizations and their workforce.
