Organizational change projects often fail, as they are notoriously difficult to design and control. This text gives readers an understanding of organizational structures, and presents a new and easy-to-understand framework which describes the three dimensions of organizational interventions. The authors provide practical guidelines to show how interventions can be designed and controlled, and draw on international case studies to illustrate their story.

This textbook will be suitable for postgraduate students of organizational development, design and change, and practitioners carrying out organizational development projects.
