| Abstract: | This article suggests that (1) organization development is uniquely positioned to fulfil commonly accepted criteria of research relevance, and (2) that closer interaction between organisational development and strategic management is a potent and fruitful way to make strategic management relevant to practitioners. An "integrated organizational model" is presented and its use in an organisational development intervention is discussed. The process of applying the model and learning from this and other OD interventions, illustrate how closer interaction between the fields of OD and strategic management can help to bridge the gap of relevance between academic and practitioner concerns. |
