Successful organizations respond intelligently to factors which precipitate change. Economic climates, political trends, changes in consumer demands, management policy or structure, employment levels and financial resources - all these elements are constantly at play to ensure that organizations clinging on to static structures will ultimately lose out. But change is a dynamic and alarming thing - this journal addresses how to manage it positively, so that employees give their support and the positive goals set are worked towards with enthusiasm.

Aims and scope

Journal of Organizational Change Management (JOCM) provides alternative philosophies for organizational change and development. It encourages the exploration of philosophies including critical theory, postmodernism and poststructuralism and is interested in qualitative analyses of change, discourse and change practices. The journal encourages interdisciplinary approaches such as organization and ecology, consumption and production and rhetorics and theatrics of change and development. 

International and interdisciplinary in its approach, the journal offers a wealth of valuable material to the organization committed to the choice for change. Already acknowledged as a leading publication in the field, it presents contributions from distinguished practitioners, thinkers and academics in the field; so that implementing change in your organization will be workable, desirable, and above all, effective.

JOCM publishes papers which offer a detailed analysis and discussion on the philosophies and practices which underpin successful organizational change, thus building a more promising future for the societies and organizations of tomorrow. It also welcomes articles which tie into, or disagree with, themes from prior issues. 

Coverage includes, but is not restricted to, adapting strategic planning to the need for change, leadership research, responsibility for change implementation and follow-through, the psychology of change and its effect on the workforce and Total Quality Management.
