The U.S. military, as the core constituent of the Department of
Defense, collectively represents the largest and most complex
organization on earth. As such, the U.S. military implemented the
largest formal OD programs in the world. These programs, from
inception to present day, utilized diverse and evolving OD
intervention typologies to garner congruence with the environment.
The research for this book, accomplished using an inductive,
grounded theory approach, examined the initiatives that fostered
the use of OD intervention typologies. The findings revealed three
major epochs of OD interventions that span a 50-year timeline. The
epochs include: (1) Traditional OD; (2) Total Quality Management
(TQM); and (3) Continuous Process Improvement (CPI). The epoch of
Traditional OD represents the use of human process interventions
while TQM and CPI represent the use of technostructural
interventions. In the end, the relationship between organization
design and culture, and the selection of OD intervention
typologies, were best explained using variables that explicate
diverse environmental occurrences that influenced senior military
leaders' perceived need for specific OD interventions. These
perceived needs were predicated on the requirement to exploit vital
resources in an effort to bolster warfighting operational readiness
in support of the American citizenry.
