Anderson (University of Denver) provides theoretical and practical background in organization development (OD), in this text for advanced business students, managers, executives, and change agents. Incorporating discussion of OD ethics throughout, the text covers each stage of the OD process in detail, integrating theory, research, and consulting techniques for both traditional OD practices and newly adapted strategies for change, such as appreciative inquiry and Six Sigma. The book's in-depth case studies, following major content and process chapters, allow students to immediately apply what has just been covered, and illustrate the benefits of OD in corporations, government, education, and health care organizations.
