This volume provides
new conceptual insights, robust empirical studies, and thought-provoking
chapters to help organizations improve health and wellbeing in
society. Some chapters do
this by addressing macro-level change: for example, consulting at the eco-system level and
discussing the challenges entailed in developing intervention capabilities to
impact highly interdependent eco-systems; or discussing the learning and experience of a large system transformation project
conducted at a national level that had an impact on societal health and
wellbeing. Other chapters extend
theory and integrate perspectives that heretofore have remained separate, such
as the 2017 Pasmore-Woodman Award winners, who provide an overview of their
collaborative attempts at intervening and making a difference in organization studies. The richness of the diverse collaborative contributions to this
volume by leading scholars and scholar-practitioners from around the globe
provide an enriching and emerging body of knowledge.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
Researchers working in management, organization development, and organization studies in the US, Europe, South Africa, and China provide 10 chapters that discuss organization change and development to help organizations improve health and well-being in society. They address sustainable development, the use of 360-degree feedback for individual assessment and organization development, organizational renewal through entrepreneurial initiatives, the implications of the Theory of Planned Behavior for organization development and change in terms of carbon labeling of products as a strategy to go green, the application of the colors of change theory, concepts related to ideas of organizing intelligence, champions of change and organization development, system change at the national government level, and intervening in organizational studies using feminist theory and cultural studies. -- Annotation (c)2018 * (protoview.com) *
