Summary
Summary
Outlining a positive approach to change called creative recombination, this title identifies five key elements that every company has - people, structures, culture, processes, and networks. It offers a toolkit of techniques for recombining, reusing, and redeploying these resources to achieve cost-efficient, less painful organizational change.
