Strategic Organization Development Managing Change for Success (Hc) (e-book) (used book) | bookbook.eu

Description

This book addresses one of the most complex and important issues for management and organization development today - how to plan for and create an organization capable of not only competing but excelling in an almost impossibly turbulent and uncertain environment. The book brings together a series of articles by practitioner-scholars who have the responsibility for helping their organizations create the future. Contributors also have the responsibility of helping us conceptually understand the process of Strategic OD. In this book, you can sense the value of two perspectives - the practitioner and the scholar. Authors include OD executives from global Fortune 500 organizations, major community service organizations, major academic contributors in the field, and OD practitioners from major consulting firms. Each author makes a unique contribution by providing strategies for planning the future, implementing change, and creating organizational capabilities for sustained success. New and current models for Strategic OD and candid discussions of issues, difficulties, and ways of coping with unanticipated events are provided. These works contribute to a better understanding and sharing of how major corporations, community service organizations, and OD consultants are addressing one of the most important organizational problems of today - how to manage change for success.
