Organizations are built for stability, not for change. But in today's highly competitive business environment, organizations must be ready to change-and change frequently. They need to replace long-term planning with a succession of short-term advantages. They must increase their "surface area" with the outside world; drive leadership to lower levels in the company; and reward decision makers for change management as well as results. Lawler and Worley discuss methods for creating strategies, structures, communication processes, and human resource management practices that are designed to facilitate an organization's ability to change.
