Organisational Transformation: Moves and Rhythms

In: Handbook of Top Management Teams

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.
