Organization Development in the 1980's

Analysis of past reviews helps define OD and critical issues: focus on structure versus behavioral process, and concern with performance versus people. A literature review shows how these conflicts are being resolved. Four major research issues are defined and discussed. The OD literature suggests (a) OD is now more a normal part of management, (b) the themes of structure and process have largely been integrated, and (c) focus on culture may help integrate conflicting values. OD is entering an exciting and productive new area of maturity and achievement.
