Organisational Transformation: Moves and Rhythms

Patrick Besson

Chapter 51 in Handbook of Top Management Teams, 2010, pp 440-448 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Merging two firms, developing a service offer solution within a product culture, introducing performance culture into a public administration, restructuring an industrial, logistical or commercial system, rebalancing global/local relationships within a matrix or carrying out an ambitious performance programme—these are the organisational transformation initiatives that lie at the heart of corporate strategic manoeuvring. What sort of tactical repertoire does a business executive require to be successful in this domain? Transformation initiatives’ surprisingly high failure rate makes this an exceedingly topical question.
