Opis

Organization Development: Strategies for Changing Environments helps managers of the future plan for and manage changes successfully in the workplace. The book teaches students how to conceptualize and implement planned interventions to increase organizational effectiveness.

Building on the success of the previous edition, Smither and Houston maintain the foundational, historical organization development content while incorporating a number of key changes:

• New material on change management, globalization, diversity, sustainability, ethics, talent management, civility in the workplace, dialogic OD, and emotional intelligence
• A greater emphasis on the practical application of the theory
• New case studies focusing on current business dilemmas that align with the chapter objectives

This edition brings this classic book into the twenty-first century, making it a valuable resource for students of organizational development, organizational behavior, change management, and leadership.
