Values in Organizational Change

10:30 AM–11:50 AM
Marquette (3rd floor)
Area: OBM; Domain: Applied Research
Chair: Scott A. Herbst (University of Nevada, Reno)
Abstract: A major challenge Faced by Organizational consultants is that the interest of the organization (and its stakeholders) and the employees responsible for producing its goods and services are often at odds. Regularly, the contracting individual represents the interest of the stakeholders with the interest of the employees being considered secondarily and as they relate to the interest of the stakeholders. This symposium will discuss individual and organizational values and how a consultant might approach organizational change without compromising values at either end of this spectrum.
