The book focuses on change and development as organizational phenomena. The entire text is divided into 5 sections viz., Understanding Organizational Processes and Change, Management of Change, Nature of Organizational Development, OD Interventions and Strategies, and Contemporary Issues in OD, as the concluding part. With a strong conceptual foundation, the book takes the readers through the entire processes and stages of change as seen and experienced worldwide. The main strength of the book lies in its exhaustive treatment to a wide array of topics along with various exhibits on change management in Indian and global organizations. The role of leadership, organizational culture and technology as integral parts of any change initiative are dealt with in detail. Later part of the book covers various OD models and tools, change management strategies and contemporary issues such as diversity management. The language is simple and enhances learning for the reader with various snapshots of different stages/levels of change and OD at organizations worldwide.The book is aimed at MBA students who specialize in HR and Strategy areas. Industry practitioners and change consultants will also benefit greatly with the title.
