Abstract
During the past five years, organizational development has actively entered the military arena. This type of organization has certain characteristics which have strong implications for the practice and impact of OD interventions. Drawing specifically upon Army organizations, six of these characteristics are discussed including structure, total immersion environment, personnel rotation, personnel reductions, military‐civilian dichotomy, and organizational objectives.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
