Une approche alternative du changement, synthétisant les acquis récents de la discipline et illustrée par de nombreuses études de cas. Ce livre clarifie la notion même de changement à partir des outils que les sciences de gestion mettent à notre disposition pour décrire les évolutions des organisations, leur nature, leur ampleur, leur temporalité, etc. Il explique ensuite ces changements, en recourant à différentes approches théoriques articulées en un modèle intégré dit « des cinq forces ». Il propose également, à partir de l'examen de plusieurs études de cas approfondies, une grille multidimensionnelle permettant d'évaluer de manière nuancée un processus de changement, ainsi que des hypothèses prédictives permettant d'en anticiper le cours. Il dégage, enfin, des pistes d'action concrètes basées sur les différentes approches théoriques abordées précédemment : le changement peut être alors vraiment considéré comme un processus à gérer. Il s'adresse aux enseignants et étudiants en Sciences de gestion ainsi qu'aux personnes suivant une formation professionnelle dans ce domaine. Il intéressera également toute personne impliquée dans un processus de changement : direction générale, cadres, responsables de projets, DRH.

La plupart des gestionnaires actuels estiment qu'ils sont plongés de manière permanente dans des situations de changement. À les suivre, il serait faux de croire que la vie de l'entreprise est constituée de périodes de changement qui alterneraient avec des périodes de plus grande stabilité. Selon eux, s'intéresser au changement, c'est s'intéresser à l'organisation elle-même. L'ouvrage, dont voici la 2e édition entièrement revue et mise à jour, tente tout d'abord de clarifier la notion même de changement à partir des outils que les sciences de gestion mettent à notre disposition pour décrire les évolutions des organisations, leur nature, leur ampleur, leur temporalité, etc. Il cherche ensuite à expliquer ces changements, en recourant à différentes approches théoriques articulées en un modèle intégré dit « des cinq forces ». Il propose également, à partir de l’examen de plusieurs études de cas approfondies, une grille multidimensionnelle permettant d’évaluer de manière nuancée un processus de changement ainsi que des hypothèses prédictives permettant d’en anticiper le cours. Il dégage, enfin, des pistes d’action concrètes basées sur les différentes approches théoriques abordées précédemment : le changement peut être alors vraiment considéré comme un processus à gérer. Cet ouvrage s’adresse aux enseignants et étudiants en Science de gestion ou aux personnes suivant une formation professionnelle dans ce domaine.

The realms of consumption have typically been seen to be distinct from those of work and production. This book examines how contemporary rhetorics and discourses of organizational change are breaking down such distinctions - with significant implications for the construction of subjectivities and identities at work. In particular, Paul du Gay shows how the capacities and predispositions required of consumers and those required of employees are increasingly difficult to distinguish. Both consumers and employees are represented as autonomous, responsible, calculating individuals. They are constituted as such in the language of consumer cultures and the all-pervasive discourses of enterprise whereby persons are required to be

While health literacy is a relatively new multidisciplinary field, it is vital to the successful engagement with and communication of health with patients, caregivers, and the public. This book ‘New Directions in Health Literacy Research, Theory, and Practice’ provides an introduction to health literacy research and practice and highlights similar scholarship in related disciplines. The book is organized as follows: the first chapter explains the still-evolving definition of health literacy; the next three chapters discuss developments and new directions in health literacy research, then a further two chapters are devoted to developments and new directions in health literacy theory. Two chapters explore health literacy interventions for vulnerable populations; four chapters cover health literacy leadership efforts; six chapters describe developments and new directions in disciplines that are similar to health literacy; and six chapters portray diverse health literacy practices. A preface from Richard Carmona M.D., the former U.S. Surgeon General, is included in the book. Although the book is intended primarily for health literacy researchers, practitioners and students, the diverse topics and approaches covered will be of interest to all healthcare and public health researchers, practitioners, and students, as well as scholars in related fields, such as health communication, science communication, consumer health informatics, library science, health disparities, and mass communication. As Dr. Carmona concludes in his preface: ‘This is essential reading for all health practitioners.’
