Introduction

We have made some major changes to the textbooks for this course. In the past students had to purchase or rent a textbook, but the costs of textbooks keep rising and the decision was made to convert this to Open Educational Resources (OER) which means you will not have to pay for the textbooks for this course. They are available to you as downloads. You can read online or print out PDFs. Your choice.

Students who have taken PRST 4510/5510 will notice that three of the chapters in this Pressbook are used in that course. 

Organizational Transformation is a compilation of resources, information, and readings from open education resources gathered and produced in one location for the students of Middle Tennessee State University through resources from the James E. Walker Library and Embracing Equity through Open Educational Resources.
