About the Book

Our Elgar Concise Introductions are inspiring and considered introductions to the key principles in business, expertly written by some of the world’s leading scholars. The aims of the series are two-fold: to pinpoint essential principles of business and management, and to offer insights that stimulate critical thinking.



This Concise Introduction provides an overview of organizational development, addressing the contemporary problems facing organizations. In a world where the body of knowledge doubles annually, but business leaders rely on yesterday’s assumptions, this book demonstrates the importance of creating high performance and high trust cultures.



Cam Caldwell, Verl Anderson and Dima Jamali examine the key lessons for leaders and organizations in the 21st century, supplying guidance on deepening intrapersonal relationships within organizations. They discuss the importance of motivation and collaboration, acknowledging timely issues such as mental health, employee wellbeing and engagement, and teamwork. The book evaluates ethical leadership skills and different organizational cultures, developing strategies for driving progression and pioneering change.



Key Features:

  • Identifies root causes of toxic workplace cultures that plague modern companies
  • Delivers practical solutions to address the strategic needs of tomorrow’s organizations
  • Highlights common failures of leaders and businesses that impact employee trust and commitment



Concise Introduction to Organizational Development is a discerning resource for students and academics in economics and business. Its useful insights on inclusive leadership and conflict resolution are greatly beneficial to industry leaders and those in management positions.
