Dull and endless,
By
This review is from: Organization Development and Change (Hardcover)
It goes on and on about nonsense without breaks. Book is dull and lifeless, diagrams are just more blocks of text with no colour or proper labelling.Looks more like a book out of the 1800s or something with little use of paragraphs or formating--only endless blocks of text. Case studies are from the 90s and outdated.

The Worst Book on OD,
By A Customer
This review is from: Organization Development & Change With Infotrac (Hardcover)
I am an enthuastic OD practitioner who loves the field of OD. I am amazed at how two academics could present OD as boring and lifeless.

Excellent textbook for Organization Change and Dev't Class,
By A Customer
This review is from: Organization Development & Change With Infotrac (Hardcover)
As an OD practitioner and faculty who teaches Org Change, I find Cummings and Worley's book superb. The case studies are short enough to use in class. Students find the writing style clear and understandable. And the book grounds its practical advice in theories and models that students can use for years after completing the class. The instructor's guide provides excellent insights into cases, but gives poorly written assessment items for use on tests. All textbooks have tradeoffs. On the academic side, this book lacks references to empirical research that students could follow up on. On the practical side, it lacks comparisons between interventions that practitioners choose from. It doesn't provide a personal wisdom that some readers would want. But it does provide engaging content that's clear enough for students recently out of college and deep enough for mid-career professionals who are reading the book for a class.
