This Second Edition helps students to practise organization development skills in unison with learning about theories of organizational change and human behaviour.

Comprehensive yet introductory survey text appropriate for undergraduate students who need historical context, theoretical grounding, critical issues perspective, and the how-to application for community development.

Brings together the different areas within one text to offer a more integrative understanding of business and management, thereby addressing concerns about the fragmentation and 'silo' nature of traditional MBA teaching.

This engaging, thought-provoking, and comprehensive text examines the promise and limits of community development by showing students and practitioners how asset-based developments can improve the sustainability and quality of life.
