Change Management
This book presents a new and fundamentally different way of understanding organizational change. The authors present a new model of change management which identifies four core tasks that are crucial to the success of any change initiative in organizations. These are: appreciating change, mobilizing support for change, executing change and building change capability. They contend that failures of change initiatives result from failure to manage one or more of these tasks effectively.
Managing Organisational Change
Drawing upon and integrating current theories, models, and experiences of companies in India and abroad, this book offers practical insights into managing change. It emphasises both what organisations need to change and how they should go about it. Examining primary data from about 50 progressive Indian organisations, the authors view organisational change in terms of three generic--growth; transformation and decline. Based on the case studies, they present a model of change that focuses on eight levers of change--value-based leadership, strategy, structure, human resource practices, technology, marketing, quality and costs. The model is richly illustrated with examples from both Indian and international practice. The authors examine the core values that must underlie any change effort and discuss the ways in which organisations can nurture value-based change. This timely and lucid book will be an indispensable reference or text for all behavioural and management programs.

Dalit Studies
The contributors to this major intervention into Indian historiography trace the strategies through which Dalits have been marginalized as well as the ways Dalit intellectuals and leaders have shaped emancipatory politics in modern India. Moving beyond the anticolonialism/nationalism binary that dominates the study of India, the contributors assess the benefits of colonial modernity and place humiliation, dignity, and spatial exclusion at the center of Indian historiography. Several essays discuss the ways Dalits used the colonial courts and legislature to gain minority rights in the early twentieth century, while others highlight Dalit activism in social and religious spheres. The contribut...
Community-Based Health Interventions in an Institutional Context
Community-Based Health Interventions in an Institutional Context examines challenges of "institutionalizing" community-based health care. While the community-based or localized model is growing in popularity and importance in the United States, in practice it must often be brought in to larger institutions in order to grow to scale. The typical goals of an institution—standardization, formalization, and control—may be seen as antithetical to those of a community-based healthcare provider, such as spontaneity, customization, and flexibility. The contributions to this work raise questions about how the community-based model can be scaled up through institutions, and how "institutionalizati...
