Organization Development in the USSR:: AN OVERVIEW AND A CASE EXAMPLE

While some American OD practitioners seem pessimistic about using OD, Soviet practitioners are already using a technology called gaming (igropraktika) that bears a “family resemblance” to OD and may represent an innovation in OD technology. Describes the theory behind gaming and presents a case example of a game conducted with a Soviet enterprise.
