ORGANIZATION DEVELOPMENT AND CHANGE AS PRISMATIC Available to Purchase

This symposium seeks to contribute to an expanding core for Organization Development and Change (ODC) in the global arena. ODC is developing “prismatic” features, and these at once signal robust activity even as they threaten spin‐offs. The five contributions below deal with generic measurement issues; the introduction of a Hawaiian design for conflict management; the central roles of interlevel designs and dynamics in ODC; gender proportions and their organizational covariants; and an updating of the evaluative literature on ODC applications in national settings having moderate‐to‐low GNP per capita.
