The rapid pace of global, economic, and technological development has made change an essential aspect of any organization's survival in the competitive market. If the change process is planned, the HR practitioner can utilize existing general models or theories of change and employ suggestive interventions to enhance effectiveness and capacity for change. However, when the magnitude of change is unpredictable or the degree of organizational processes or systems is unorganized, the existing models or practices of planned change are still in the formative stage, and continuous refinement and improvement are possible.

This book aims to bridge this gap in the current organizational development and change literature by providing valuable insights to HR practitioners. It offers six real-life case studies that showcase the interventions adopted, key activities associated with successful implementation, and the critical role played by HR in achieving organizational effectiveness. The case studies encompass a diverse range of companies and integrate various dimensions into a cohesive framework for the field of HRM in Change Management. By illustrating the role of HR as a "change agent," this volume serves as a valuable resource for researchers, academics, managers, and students in the domains of human resource management and change management.

The cases presented in this book highlight six powerful organizational experiences, encompassing motivating change, establishing a vision, securing support from key stakeholders, managing transitions, and demonstrating organizational and HR commitment for implementation. These activities play a pivotal role in effective change management and contribute to the success of organizations undergoing transformation.

By examining these case studies, readers gain valuable insights into the strategies, approaches, and best practices employed by HR professionals in navigating change. The book serves as a practical guide for HR practitioners seeking to enhance their skills and effectiveness in driving organizational change and achieving sustainable growth. It emphasizes the importance of proactive planning, effective communication, and collaboration in implementing change initiatives and promotes a culture of continuous improvement within organizations.

In conclusion, this book offers a comprehensive and practical approach to HRM in Change Management, providing valuable insights and practical tools for HR practitioners and scholars alike. It serves as a testament to the role of HR in driving organizational transformation and achieving sustainable success in a rapidly changing world.
