Designed to serve managers, executives, administrators, consultants, and students, Organization Development, Third Edition brings together a complete overview of the modern field of organization development (OD). Fully updated to reflect major changes since the classic Second Edition, it presents a thorough overview of OD as it is now practiced, and how it is continuing to evolve.
The authors illuminate each key theory in the field, giving readers the background they need to translate theory into action, make key choices, help organizations learn, and lead change. Coverage includes:
What OD is, where it came from, and where it is headed
Understanding OD as a process of change
Defining the OD client (why your client may not be who you think it is)
Diagnosing organizational problems
Applying the Burke-Litwin model of organizational performance and change
Assessing how well OD techniques work
Working as an OD consultant, and much more
