Organizational change and innovation processes

Marshall Scott Poole, Andrew H. Van de Ven, Kevin Dooley, Michael E. Holmes

"This volume aims to promote the development of a process-based social science that complements traditional variance-based approaches. The process approach exercises more fully and in a systematic manner the human ability to understand and to explain through narrative. It has the potential to unlock a different, more fundamental level of understanding of innovation, change, and related phenomena."--BOOK JACKET.
