Diagnosing Organisational Ills

Abstract

Adeliberate diagnosis of organisational ills as the prelude to a programme of management or organisational development is both possible and profitable. Recent advances in the social sciences have led to the development of diagnostic methods which can identify organisational weak spots and evaluate the potential effectiveness of various change techniques. The latter are becoming widely known and used; change techniques are available today which can deal with virtually any organisational problem, although no single cure-all exists.
