Organization Development Classics

From the very first issue to the present, the Organization Development Practitioner has been the premier publication of the organization development profession. Its articles'works by such leading-edge practitioners as Burke, Beckhard, Shepard, and Weisbord have done no less than define organization development and envision its future. Many of these articles are now considered classics. And for the first time they are assembled here, all in one volume, for practitioners and aspirants to the field to study, learn from, and enjoy again and again.
