Abstract
Despite the frequent criticisms of OD in the behavioral science literature, there are four major areas ofprogress in OD: progress in operationalizing the concept of change; progress in improving measurement processes and procedures; and progress in designing statistical procedures used to analyze OD intervention data. The authors are encouraged by recent developments in OD research which point to a more solid base on which to build OD practice and theory.Keywords
