As business operations and competition become more global, companies have to rise to the challenges posed by changes in technology, products, and individual competencies. In Managing Change: Practical Strategies for Competitive Advantage, Kari Tuominen addresses these issues and provides sound strategies for incorporating change into any organization's management. Businesses must do more than learn from their own experiences. Rather, they need to observe others and learn from the competition's experiences, too. In order to stay competitive, businesses must emphasize the ability to implement plans and objectives faster than the competition . By keeping abreast of changes as well as learning from past experiences, organizations can adapt, improve and thrive in today's global marketplace.

Managing Change is written to be easy to read and understand, and is appropriate for any technical level. Containing simple and practical theories that build a uniform understanding, the book requires no previous knowledge of the subject matter and is applicable for use in any industry. Many of the numerous case studies offered are drawn from the author's own experiences. The various models presented are widely applicable and can be used in any industry.
