Building coalitions

Chapter Chapter 6 in Informal coalitions, 2007, pp 153-194 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Coalition formation is a natural and dynamic process within all organizations. It occurs continuously and spontaneously, as people respond to their perceptions, interpretations and evaluations of emerging events and their everyday experiences within the organization. In the context of organizational change, coalitions form either to support a particular change or to frustrate it. The informal coalitions view of change calls upon managers to engage actively and imaginatively with these natural dynamics of organizations, to build coalitions of support for organizationally beneficial changes.
