How colleges change: understanding, leading, and enacting change (Second edition.)

Joining theory and practice, 'How Colleges Change' unmasks problematic assumptions that university leaders and change agents typically possess, and provides research-based principles for approaching change.

Featuring case studies, teaching questions, change tools, and a greater focus on scaling change, this new edition offers updated content and fresh insights into understanding, leading, and enacting change.

Recognising that internal and external conditions shape and frame change processes, Kezar presents an overarching practical toolkit - a framework for analysing change, as well as a set of theoretical perspectives to apply that framework in order to custom design a change process, no matter the organizational challenge or context.
