Q Loizos Heracleous and Sylvia Devoge I. the Need for Relevance of the Strategic Management Field

چکیده
This article suggests that (i) organisation development is uniquely positioned to fulfil commonly accepted criteria of research relevance, and (ii) that closer interaction between orgamsational development and strategic managementls a potent and fruitful way to make strategic management relevant to practitioners. An 'integrated organisational model' is presented and its use in an organisational development intervention is discussed. The process of applying the model and learning from this and other OD int~rventions, illustrate how closer interaction between the fields of OD and strategic management can help to bridge the gap of relevance between academic and practitioner concerns. The findings also highlight useful lessons which merit careful consideration by top management teams when developing strategy, and planning and leading strategic change. @ 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd.
