About

In a global age of disruption, future organisational change is not avoidable. Organisational effects will be immediate and transformational across companies, and due consideration and preparation ahead of these changes may be paramount for the survival of organisations and their leaders of tomorrow.

Leading and Managing Change in the Age of Disruption and Artificial Intelligence modernises the topics of management, leadership, and organisational change to inform those leading and managing organisations into the future. The book covers modern disruptions ranging from Trump and other geo-political changes, to Brexit, new currencies, trade wars, and even knowledge mobility. It also considers the broad scope of potential impacts posed by artificial intelligence.

With insights and strategies that the modern manager of the future can implement in their daily work, this book provides critical thinking that will future proof organisations with practical models. It will interest and inform managers and leaders across small and large organisations and will also prove useful and thought-provoking to those studying in business related disciplines such as management, leadership, and organisational change.

Leading Organisations in the New Age Chapter 5. Managing Organisations of the Future Chapter 6. Organisational Implications Chapter 7. Organisational Change, Tools and Measures

‘With Leading and Managing Change in the Age of Disruption and Artificial Intelligence Mat Donald has provided us with a much-needed management primer for the new economy. He effectively updates much of traditional management logic for a world that is characterized by dramatic change. A must read!’
- Leonard Schlesinger, Baker Foundation Professor, Harvard Business School, and President Emeritus, Babson College

‘We are beginning to understand change dynamics in fairly stable environments, but these principles breakdown in disruptive environments. Along comes Donald to provide the critical information needed to extend our understanding about how to effectively bring about change in disruptive environments, which are increasingly what organizations face in today’s global society.’
- Eric B. Dent, PhD, Uncommon Friend Endowed Chair Professor, Florida Gulf Coast University

‘This is an impressive and well-written book that is both thought-proving and eminently practical. We live in an age of disruption and, whether you lead or study organisations, this book will help you to understand its implications and how to manage the challenges it poses.’
- Bernard Burnes, Chair of Organisational Change, Stirling Management School, University of Stirling

‘This book adapts organisational management and leadership to the modern age, where change is constant and affecting the way organisations operate. This book will be of benefit to anyone wanting to consider the future of organisational management and change.’
- Jens Mueller, Professor of Management Practice, Massey University

‘We are living in a VUCA world; volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous. A time in which we may see and feel a shift of paradigms. This book describes global transitions which are influencing our businesses worldwide. Mat Donald points out global issues such as EU destabilization, rebalancing world powers, financial trade barriers and the influence of technology. These changes cannot be managed in a traditional and linear “cause and effect” manner. Leadership in the new age requires skills that are more holistic, dialogic and take a systems and design thinking approach where the left and right brains act together. This book is excellent for students, managers, leaders and management consultants who work, or are starting to work, in an international business environment and want to understand “a world that is on the move.”’
