Work, Change and Competition presents an in-depth study of organizational change and innovation in one of the UK's leading retail leisure companies. Based on a remarkably deep level of access, the authors provide a fascinating longitudinal study of the management process in action - both the formal, 'on stage' aspects of strategic change and the

informal, political behaviour of those involved. Subjects covered include:

the changing contexts of the public house business

from management to managing

change processes and politics

control and empowerment

gender and public house management. Work, Change and Competition will be essential reading for students of organizational change, as well as all readers interested in the changing nature of management/managing and organizations.

Reviews for Work, Change and Competition: Managing for Bass

'This rich and detailed longitudinal study of a well-known company makes fascinating reading. There are relatively few 'inside' accounts like this one available. Work, Change and Competition thus makes a significant contribution to the literature of organizational development and change.' - Dave Buchanan, De Monfort University 'THe authors use an accessible and informal writing style which surprisingly would please both academics and practitioners. The book makes a great contribution to an unknown area and therefore should be read widely.' - International Journal Of Toursim Research
