Discussion Board for Module 4

Introduction

The readings and video in Module 4 are intended to “stir things up” in how you may view organizations. If you did not know the publication date for Peter Drucker’s article, you might have thought it was very recent. Michael O’Malley describes the necessity for organizational development to evolve with institutional practices, which complements the Drucker article. Jimmy Hemmerling’s TED Talk is about organizational transformation, its consequences, and the importance of people.
