Article Review of The Impact of Change and Change Management in Achieving Corporate Goals and Objectives: Organizational Perspective
Dr. Revenio C. Jalagat, Jr published an article titled The Impact of Change and Change Management in Achieving Corporate Goals and Objectives: Organizational Perspective in 2016 in the International Journal of Science and Research.
