Due to the increasing transformation and changes in the economy,
society, technology, ecology or even human health, organisations and
companies are or should be continuously changing in order to survive as
they are open systems.
This book illustrates both how organisations can transform or change and
where the most cutting-edge and innovative organisations and companies
are heading. Accordingly, the book is structured in two parts. The first
part explores concepts associated with change and development such as
innovation, organisational resilience and learning, and describes the
latest trends and related research. The second part analyses the new
organisation or company we are, it is to be hoped, heading for: a more
conscious, compassionate, sustainable, innovative, trustful and humane
organisation. The book reviews underlying ideas related to leadership,
technology, trust and compassion and presents and analyses
compassionate, sustainable and conscious organisations through an
in-depth examination of their organisational and managerial
characteristics, with particular emphasis on their human resource
management practices and employee wellbeing.
This volume is principally addressed to management and business students
and researchers, as it offers a pedagogical review and analysis of the
topics from the latest literature and research. At the same time, it
provides highly topical and interesting ways forward for executives who
want to transform their companies by introducing more conscious, humane
and innovative approaches.
