This book is required reading for a graduate OD course I completed this summer. Using the organizational theory perspectives of modernist, symbolic and post modernist, the author carefully guides and builds on theories that support these perspectives. In the end, it give professional change experts a foundation for recommendations. I will continue to use this book as a reference for my internal and external OD/OT work.


4 out of 5 stars MUCH less painful than others on this subject   September 9, 2007

This book is very readable. Some of the books and papers on organizational theory are so dense that they are practically unreadable. This one effectively conveys the information the author wants you to understand. This is not a pointless book. I can't say that about most of the others I've had to read on organizational theory.


3 out of 5 stars Book is all over the place.   September 15, 2009

Even though it came in perfect condition and on time, I don't recommend this book. The content is BRILLIANT - but the approach to get there is not so brilliant. No glossary.
