As well as providing a critical perspective on the field, the text offers useful and useable analyses of practitioner issues. This is a thought-provoking book which stands out amongst other practitioner texts in terms of depth, quality and relevance. I look forward to working with the students who have met its challenges head on and developed their practice to reflect the questioning orientation it establishes. That aside, it's bang up to date and a really good read!

This is a wide ranging and thought provoking volume which challenges the practitioner to integrate change methods from the OD arsenal, with current concepts of human resource management in order to improve organisational effectiveness.

This text offers a valuable insight into the issues associated with organisational development and their implications for human resource professionals. Importantly, it¿s authors take a critical perspective so as to encourage the reader to question widely held assumptions regarding the management and development organisations. The text effectively reflects the notion that people management and development has a key role within effective organisational development.
