A first step in the design of the paper has been to explore what may be\ud
learnt from previous studies that focus on the same employee\ud
experiences, behaviours and reactions or similar events. It is hoped that\ud
the results of the present exploration will help narrow the focus of the\ud
study, and facilitate the analysis of collected data (the design of the\ud
necessary analysis is discussed later). It appears useful in organising the\ud
present paper and to maintain the sharp research focus on employees’\ud
reactions to change to distinguish between management approaches to\ud
organisational change and non-management approaches. I will continue\ud
to discuss these to see what they can contribute to the study’s focus in\ud
particular and organisational cultural change studies within a wider frame\ud
of discussion
