Change is a ubiquitous theme in management literature, but empirical studies that seek to draw lessons from the experience of managing change are rare. By investigating patterns of change management in six Australian federal agencies, we elicit a number of factors contributing to success—though "success" is itself not a clear‐cut concept in this area. We found support for a number of broad themes already apparent in the literature and suggest that change processes that have the support of the workforce require good leadership, an appropriate model of change, some room for negotiation and compromise, and well‐planned communication.

Les relations interpersonnelles jouent un rôle important en politique. En guise d'exploration et dans le but de formuler des hypothèses sur les structures de relations et la politique, nous avons établi la distance sociale entre certains électeurs et leurs représentants à Ottawa et nous avons examiné plusieurs variables qui y étaient possiblement reliées. La location stratégique d'une personne dans un réseau de relations dépend principalement de son statut socioéconomique, surtout des possibilités que lui offre sa profession d'étendre son réseau de contacts. Une position plus ou moins proche de la décision politique peut peut‐être expliquer une bonne partie du lien entre le statut socioéconomique et les perceptions ou activités qui y sont reliées. Nous avons trouvé des traces de liens possibles entre la proximité aux représentants et l'activité politique du répondant, sa perception de la susceptibilité du gouvernement à réagir, de son efficacité, et de l'importance des contacts pour obtenir un emploi. Plusieurs hypothèses plus spécifiques sont suggérées.Interpersonal relationships play an important part in politics. In order to explore and develop hypotheses about relational structures and politics, we determined the social distance between some constituents and their representatives in Ottawa and examined several possibly related variables. We argue that the extent to which a person is strategically located in a network of relationships stems primarily from his socioeconomic status (SES), especially from his occupational opportunities to make wide contacts, and that his location close to or not close to political decision may account for much of the link between SES and perceptions or activities correlated with it. We found traces of possible ties between closeness to representatives and the respondent's political activity, perception of government responsiveness, efficacy, and perception of importance of contacts in getting jobs. Several more detailed hypotheses were suggested.
