Show moreThis descriptive study investigates and highlights the effect of Organization Development (OD) by determining its relationship to organizational improvement. By reviewing through description and application the main OD techniques, a background is painted against which the total impact of this emerging entity in the behavioral science can be evaluated. While prior exposure to training and development activities would make the material more relevant, it is not essential for a general understanding. Resources include case study, examples collected from survey respondents, research of current literature, personal operating experience and observation.

Show moreThis was prepared as the thesis required for the Master of Business Administration degree. Very little had been written on the management of voluntary organizations. The American Red Cross currently uses a system termed Objectives and Goals to establish priorities of service and periodically measure accomplishments. The problem area was whether the fundamental concepts of management by objectives as applied to the system used by the organization accomplished the measurement and correction of the performance of staff through a system of control. Secondary research concentrated on common practice and theory of the function of control and the system of management by objectives. Current manuals and instructions on Objectives and Goals issued by the American Red Cross were used for comparison. It was found that this system has the basic format of management by objectives but, as practiced, does not appear to function as a process of control.
