Organization Development The Process of Leading Organizational Change Books
This text served as required reading when I took Dr. Anderson's Organizational Development course during the Spring 2013 quarter at the University of Denver. Despite being largely disappointed with the majority of required reading throughout my graduate study, this was by far the best and most helpful text. Dr. Anderson does a wonderful job of synthesizing what many OD, consulting, and organizational design experts say and compiling it into a solid text. The text combines solid theory with realistic case studies and even personal anecdotes. Instead of being a generic, monotone work, it is almost as if you can hear his voice and passion for the subject. Chapters and sections are very well-organized, making it easy to revisit previous sections. He also provides some solid insider advice and is quite honest about what works and what doesn't. The built-in case studies offer many chances to practice what you just learned. I highly recommend this text to be used in conjunction with Cases and Exercises in Organization Development & Change. Finally, Dr. Anderson does well to appeal to learners with a visual sense by including many easy to follow diagrams and charts.Perhaps my only critical advice would be to include a section at the end of the text with a graphical organizer which breaks down the different types of interventions and categorizes them by individual, group, and organization.

Organization Development The Process of Leading Organizational Change Books Reviews
I think most of tbese can be learnt online..but was a class textbook
This digital book is the WORST. DO NOT GET IT! I thought it was my app but tried it on 3 devices. Then one of my classmates started the discusson in our class....everyone that got it in digital format had the same issues. The pages flip constantly - sometimes 30-40 pages. There are no page numbers, just locations. Save yourself the frustration. Do not get the digital version. It is bad.
I did not care for tis book much- was a requirement for school. It was not a easy read. Boring
Very good text for laying the foundation for the future OD change consultant.
This is a relatively brief introduction to the study of organization development (OD). What is organization development? The text notes that (page 2) ". . .an area of academic study and professional practice focused on making organizations better. . . ." This is an interdisciplinary field of study, drawing upon work from business, psychology, human resource management, and so on. The author notes further that (Page 3) "Organization development is the process of increasing organizational effectiveness, and facilitating personal and organizational change through the use of interventions driven by social and behavioral science knowledge."
How does this volume try to outline the study of organization development? First, it covers basic elements of the field. Second, it provides a variety of case studies.
The volume begins by discussing the nature and history and values of OD. Later subjects include the consultation process of OD practitioners, the nature of organizational change, diagnosis of organizations, intervention tactics, sustaining organizational change, and so on.
A useful introduction to the subject. . . .
I'm visually impaired and need the larger font of a digital book. This works great for me and i have no problem with turning pages. Plus when referencing you can highlight, copy, paste and have a 90% solution to a citation. This book may not have quite all the digital feature of some other textbooks I've purchased, but works just fine with my PC, Surface and Android App. The only problem is the android app has no page numbers, only reference numbers. The PC app has page numbers at the bottom of the screen. This and tell fact it is a little dry is why it receives 4 stars.
It's not the text book author's fault if a reader can't remember what they read. Anderson's work is a primer on organization development. If you have the slightest inclination to do any kind of organization development whether internal or external this is the book for you. I rented it as a text book for a doctoral level class on organizational theory and group behavior and I'm buying it outright for future reference use as my consulting career gains momentum. I've used it extensively for the last eight weeks and it worth every penny.
