Research Agenda for Organisational Continuity and Change

Elgar Research Agendas outline the future of research in a given area. Leading scholars are given the space to explore their subject in provocative ways, and map out the potential directions of travel. They are relevant but also visionary.

Research has overlooked the need for modern organisations to enact continuity during periods of change. This Research Agenda addresses this by considering continuity and change as engaging in various forms of mutual interplay. The underlying theme of this book is that change needs continuity just as continuity needs change.

In this Research Agenda, internationally renowned contributors offer insights through a wide range of case studies and chart a path for future research. Readers will discover how the continuity-change interplay unfolds in a variety of organisational types and industries. Key examples show the importance of understanding continuity as an integrative part of organisational change at various levels of organisation.

A Research Agenda for Organisational Continuity and Change will be useful for scholars and students of organisation and management, including teachers involved in executive education.
