Real Time Strategic Change
Robert W. Jacobs, Jacobs. Berrett-Koehler Publishers, $29.95 (335pp) ISBN 978-1-881052-45-6
Business consultant Jacobs promotes here a strategy that involves both managers and employees in planning and incorporating change throughout companies on a regular basis. He stresses that ``real time strategic change,'' which ``involves an entire organization in fundamental, far-reaching and fast-paced change,'' unleashes ``extraordinary energy and optimism'' among employees by focusing their attention on mastering change and achieving business goals, a process Jacobs contends rarely happens in American companies. He argues that democratic procedures allow employees to develop loyalty to organizations ``they want to call their own.'' Jacobs's organizational theories make good sense. Illustrated. Executive Program Book Club selection. (Sept.)
