Chapter 8: Research and Reading Exercise Consider the history and diversity of studies associated with the Organizational Development (OD) perspective and critically evaluate the contribution made by dialogical OD in furthering our knowledge of organizational change. As a starting point, it is worth looking at the work of Gervase Bushe, Robert Marshak and Cliff Oswick: Bushe, G. and Marshak, R. (2009) Revisioning organization development: diagnostic and dialogic premises and patterns of practice. Journal of Applied Behavioral Science 45 (3): 348-68. Bushe, G. and Marshak, R. (2014) The dialogic mindset in organization development. Research in Organizational Change and Development 22: 54-97. Oswick, C. (2013) Reflections: OD or not OD that is the question! A constructivist's thoughts on the changing nature of change. Journal of Change Management 13 (4): 371-81
