Organization Development

Theories Two main categories of OD theories:

Change process theory

– How does change take place?

Implementation theory

– How can change strategies be put into

practice?

• In essence, OD is a plannedsystem of change:-

• Planned.• Organization-wide. • Managed from the top. • Increase organization effectiveness and

health. •

Planned interventions.

There are many possible interventionstrategies from which to choose. Several

assumptions about the nature andfunctioning of organizations are made inthe choice of a particular strategy.

ASSUMPTIONS

BECKHARD lists five suchassumptions:

• The basic building blocks of an organization

are groups(teams) Therefore, the basic units of change aregroups, not individuals.

2.An always relevant change goal is thereduction of inappropriate competition between parts of the organization andthe development of a more collaborativecondition.

3.Decision making in a healthy organization islocated where the information sources are, ratherthan in a particular role or level of hierarchy.

4.Organizations, subunits of organizations, andindividuals continuously manage their affairsagainst goals. Controls are interimmeasurements, not the basis of managerial

strategy.One goal of a healthy organization is to developgenerally open communication, mutual trust,and confidence between and across levels.

5.Interventions range from those designed toimprove the effectiveness of individuals throughthose designed to deal with teams and groups,

intergroup relations, and the total organization.
