Market-leading ORGANIZATION DEVELOPMENT AND CHANGE, 11th Edition blends rigor and relevance in a comprehensive and clear presentation. The authors work from a strong theoretical foundation to describe, in practical terms, how behavioral science knowledge can be used to develop organizational strategies, structures, and processes.

  • It serves as a primary textbook in organization development for students at both the undergraduate and graduate levels.
  • The chapter sequence from previous editions has been maintained, we have reduced the number of chapters from 23 to 21 and better integrated the content. For example, aspects of organization design that used to be spread across several chapters are now integrated into one section of Chapter 18.
  • At the end of each major part in the book, cases have been included to permit a more in-depth discussion of the OD process. Four of the 16 cases are new to the eleventh edition and three of the four cases come from international settings, with some cases that have been favorites over the years but have also replaced some of the favorites with newer ones.
  • Within each chapter, we describe actual situations in which different OD techniques or interventions were used. These applications provide students with a chance to see how OD is actually practiced in organizations.
  • MindTap is a platform that propels students from memorization to mastery. It gives you complete control of your course, so you can provide engaging content, challenge every learner, and build student confidence.
