Szabla, D, B., Pasmore, W. A., Coghlan, D., & Kim, J. (2023) Handbook of Methods in Organizational Change Research. Edward Elgar Publishing. 

This handbook is a new addition to the Edward Elgar series of research methods handbooks. The handbook provides the latest thinking about research in organizational change by some of the most thoughtful voices in our field. The chapters address what makes research in the field different; the various ontologies, epistemologies, frameworks, and values that researchers adopt; the methods that are especially aligned with the phenomena of organizational change; and ideas about where research in the field is headed next.

Szabla, D. B. (2023). Management Consulting in the Era of the Digital Organization. Volume 20. Research in Management Consulting book series. Information Age Publishing.  

This volume brings both scholars and practitioners the latest discussion of efforts to understand consulting in organizations amplified by the fusion of technologies across physical, digital, and biological worlds, and a movement from human supervised artificial intelligence systems to fully autonomous artificial intelligence systems that have the potential to demonstrate intelligence beyond human capabilities.

Szabla, D. B., Pasmore, W., Barnes, M., & Gipson, A. (2017). The Palgrave handbook of organizational change thinkers (1st ed.). New York, NY: Palgrave Macmillan. 

This two-volume first and second edition set introduces the reader to the treasures of thought about change in organizations by providing a clear and concise overview of key developments from Lewin to Scharmer. Through the use of inspiring and thought-provoking profiles of prominent organizational change thinkers, the book highlights significant advancements in how organizational change has been conceived, theorized, researched, and practiced. Each profile captures the personal background of a legendary thinker and then presents his or her important contributions, key insights, and major legacies. The book is unique in that it captures in one manuscript the concepts, theories, and models of the sages who invented, built, and advanced the research and practice of change in organizations.
