Organizational Development and Change Management

Don’t Throw the Baby out with the Bath Water

Concordia University

In recent issues of the Journal of Applied Behavioral Science, Farias and Johnson and Worren, Ruddle, and Moore have engaged in a dialogue about the validity of discarding organizational development as a profession in preference for creating a new one called "change management. " The former say such a move is premature, whereas the latter advocate this shift. The article supports Farias and Johnson and suggests that it is inappropriate to cast aside a profession simply because business has failed to heed its counsel.
