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.

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
