ABSTRACT
Well, there is not much doubt that David Coghlan (1996) has helped make an important point, from multiple perspectives, The special issue he edits illustrates, with the usual caveats, that OD has been applied in a range of “voluntary organizations” or the “third sector,” and that OD and planned change tend to “work” there. Notably, also, Coghlan’s illustrations come from a variety of substantive arenas in several national settings.
