Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Translation by: Laura Grossmann This book presents – for the first time in the English language - the concept of systemic organization development and its use in management and consultancy. It demonstrates in a succinct and compact way, how the systemic approach, in its up-to-date version, is well suited to describe and handle complex challenges in diverse organizations of all sectors of society. First, the authors sketch out the crucial role organizations play today and the increasing importance of their ability to change. The central theme of the book is thus the design of organizational change processes with the help of different tools. These tools deal cautiously with employees, clients and cooperation partners in order to ensure sustainable success of an organization. In the final chapters the authors delve into specific attitudes during the change process, such as the building of trust and the allowing of emotions. Several cases illustrate how the concept and the tools promote organizational development. The book well provides a practical guideline. Additionally, the book talks about important aspects managers have to pay attention to, such as dealing with concerns and resistance. The values of the systemic concept like sustainability, selective participation and growth from inside are convincingly exemplified. The book is theoretically sound and grounded by the authors’ long management and consulting experience and their research activities with the university background. It is addressed mainly at actors in corporations, not-for-profit and public organizations, who’s task it is to organize, design and effectuate change while the daily business continues alongside. These actors may be leaders, managers, experts, consultants, project managers or employees.

Download or read book Organization Development written by Baisham Chatterjee and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2011-06-14 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book looks at understanding how to correlate these created resources in a sequence, so that any modern highly creative business with around 100-1500 or more employees understand how they should grow and profit from it. The market exists in a highly competitive environment and so I used ideas like competitive benchmarking, vision, modern analysis of core competence, best practices, transformation and few other ideas that fit together to reduce any organizational gap. I included ideas which people didnt think of earlier in the organization development perspective and created a sequence of highly interesting ideas and modern developments with which I suggest modern research and developments have to offer for the best results of a business. This book is more of a book on innovation bringing together a lot of research ideas on analytic hierarchy, balanced scorecard and benchmarking, and consists of 16 chapters where data has been collected from journals at MCB university press. It is a very good book for understanding how to make the internal processes more advanced for a business and understand utilizing other resources which were not co-related to organization development earlier thus making it an integral part of organization development.

Download or read book Unitary Developmental Theory and Organization Development Volume 2 written by Myles Sweeney and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-11-30 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book introduces Unitary Developmental Theory (UDT) to the field of organization development. The second of two volumes, it introduces the UDT model and examines its application to organization development and change management. The book presents UDT comprising seven developmental levels, showing how using its methodical progression can help to avoid issues such as unsustainable growth and change failure while examining how the model improves collaboration, digital transformation, change management and team development. It shows how the model clinically transforms concepts such as culture which is often cited as the cause of failure for change, re-defining it as habituated maturation stage and simplifying culture change accordingly. This book is designed to accompany Volume 1 which details the psychology of the model and its equal applicability to mental-health recovery. Showing how UDT can be used as an overarching model to optimize organization development, this book will be of great interest to researchers, scholars and postgraduate students from the fields of organizational psychology, organization development and change management.

Download or read book Organization Development written by Gary McLean and published by Berrett-Koehler Publishers. This book was released on 2005-12-02 with total page 481 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Designed for use in undergraduate and graduate programs in organization development, management, human resource development, and industrial and organizational psychology, Organization Development provides readers with an overview of the field and acquaints them with the basic principles, practices, values, and skills of OD. Covering every aspect of the work of an OD professional and featuring numerous illustrative case studies, it shows how OD professionals actually get work and what the first steps in any OD effort should be. Author Gary McLean surveys different ways to assess an organizational situation—including a comparison of the Action Research and Appreciative Inquiry models—and provides forms for devising an action plan based on that assessment. He then looks at how to choose and implement a range of interventions at different levels, as well as how to evaluate the results of an intervention. Organization Development goes beyond the organizational level to look at the application of OD on community, national, regional, and global levels. And it successfully combines theory and practice; process and outcomes; performance and affective results; effectiveness and efficiency.
