Abstract

"In this case study, the dynamics of change management and organizational effectiveness are explored and the experiences of a government agency with oversight authority in implementing a major technology initiative are discussed.

Research suggests that employee motivation and morale in the face of major change initiatives can be impacted by leadership style"--Abstract, page iii.
