Description
Organization development is the systematic method of taking an objective look at how an organization is operating and gathering information, and then deciding on the most appropriate action to help that organization develop and improve.
Written by two leading experts in the field, this updated second edition of Organization Development includes new coverage of complexity and chaos theory, new case studies describing OD practices and attitudes in countries outside of the U.S. and U.K., and new chapters on change and culture and employee engagement and wellbeing. The authors have also re-structured the book's format, creating greater cross-referencing between the HR and OD sections and an added emphasis on the collaborations between OD and HR functions.

Advance Praise
"The first edition of Organization Development was a very useful compendium of theories, practices, and figures with well-informed guidance for practitioners. This new edition is even more so with expanded, updated, and new sections on complexity and chaos theories and approaches, Dialogic OD, the logistics and infrastructure that support change, behavioral change, organization agility and resilience, and employee engagement. Mee-Yan Cheung-Judge and Linda Holbeche have again produced a valuable handbook for both the beginning and experienced OD practitioner." --John D. Vogelsang, Editor-in-Chief, OD Practitioner
"In this edition, Cheung-Judge and Holbeche offer an even more
comprehensive account of OD and HR in easy-to-read and practical terms.
Purists in both fields will breathe a sigh of relief knowing that core
principles have not been sacrificed with the addition of more
contemporary theory and practice. Internal and external practitioners
alike will appreciate this all in one reference." --Mary Ann Rainey, PhD, Organizational Effectiveness Consultant and Executive Coach, MA Rainey Associate
