Their participatory focus on means over ends of change, on micro-, intra-organizational issues, and the tacit but questionable claim to rigour, are said to conceal and reinforce existing power relationships, rather than deliver the meaningful empowerment promised. This article shows an empirical connection between the Cold War US and these problematic features of today's managerialist AR. Drawing on ...

Process consultation, which is more than just the application of so-called process approaches, and the clinical perspective are described, and the case for them is put, in relation to contrasts with ethnography and action research and in the light of contemporary debates about the ...

Hitherto this history has been presented within management theory as that of Organization Development (OD). An alternative history of OD is presented in this paper, focusing on the contributions of John Collier, Kurt Lewin, Ronald Lippitt and colleagues, and Edgar Schein. This reveals how OD has been constructed from methodologies invented for economic and social development, and summarizes the extensive and critical knowledge ...

Management is widely assumed to apply in organizations in modern, or postmodern, societies. However, a distinctive form of management, Development Administration and Management (DAM), exists and is applied to Third World nation-states, which are deemed in the First World to require modernization. This article sets out the institutional and conceptual separation and crossover between management and DAM. It ...

It considers how group interactions manifest themselves in four different ways that are problematic for the proponents of participatory development (risky shift, Abilene paradox, groupthink and coercive persuasion). The four analyses suggest that there are social psychological limits to what ...

It takes the idea of (International) Development Management which owes an unacknowledged debt to colonial administration, specifically to the colonial adminstration's 'indirect rule'. Development management, as opposed to development administration, has newly adopted a specific set of managerialist participatory methods, to achieve'ownership'of development interventions. These methods are particularly evident in World Bank/imf implementation of Poverty Reduction Strategy Papers (prsp s) and Comprehensive Development Frameworks (cdf s).
