Business challenges are forcing organizations to change at an ever increasing rate. These pressures mean that it is no longer enough to design and implement change; real progress in the short term has to be clear and demonstrable. However, more than 50% of change initiatives do not have the intended organizational impact; complex interdependencies and "knock-on" effects mean even simple proposals can lead to an unexpected outcome. Many organizations now achieve organizational progress through a program approach that first identifies the different tasks required to achieve progress and then man

This book is a comprehensive introduction to Buddhist tradition as it has developed in three major cultural areas in Asia, and to Buddhism as it is now developing in the West. It is intended to be a textbook for students of religious and Asian studies, but it will also be of interest to those who want a general survey of Buddhism and its beliefs.

It thus includes chapters on devotion, ethics, monastic practices and meditati
