Transformation Management

Chapter 37 in Handbook of Spirituality and Business, 2011, pp 305-314 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract In this chapter we explore the specific potential of an enterprise to engage meaningfully with the transformational capacity embedded in a particular societal culture. We shall further illustrate how such an engagement can become a key source of knowledge creation and innovation. We distinguish, as such, between a process of engagement within a particular culture and that between diverse cultures. While the first addresses the recognition and activation of the cultural force within a society, and thereby relates to the local identity of a social system, the latter demonstrates the relevance of meaningful cocreation between the local and the global.
