ORG 7025 - Humanistic Foundations of Organizational Development


This course is an introduction to the origins and evolution of Organizational Development (OD). OD grew into early coherence in the late 1950s and early 1960s, arising from the same antecedents as humanistic psychology. It is practiced today, in many forms, around the entire globe. This course provides readings and writing assignments that serve as a vehicle for becoming more appreciative of the core values and the historical roots of OD theory and practice and its long-standing humanistic tradition. 3 credit(s)
