3) Hardcover Book Organizational Assessment: A Step-by-Step Guide to Effective Consulting by American Psychological Association (APA). This is something i hate to say, but i really didn´t know for who this book is written. I didn´t mean it did not say who are the readers it intended for, but at least to me the book was written for the authour himself with a language he understand better than others. This book disappointed me at least in following three aspects: fristly, poor organization both chapters and sentences. Just like the authour said "The division into chapters is arbitrary and to ease the reading". (see pp191 of the book). Seondly , ambiguity of the meanings of cases taken in the book. some of examples and cases appear abruptly and almost without any interpretion or conclusions. Thirdly, the writting style of this book is not suit for students, or it´s not student-friendly.¤

4) Hardcover Book Organizational Assessment: A Step-by-Step Guide to Effective Consulting by American Psychological Association (APA). As consultants in the field of organization design and change, we have long valued this author´s "Organizational Diagnosis," a classic work now out-of-print. The current volume brings this original volume back, but fully updated and highly streamlined. The book takes a diagnostic approach influenced by a psychoanalytical background and psychosocial framework. It is a robust manual for assessing an organization in depth, and outlines a mode for gathering information. Rather than plunge into some recipe for organizational change, this book shows how to understand an organization from many perspectives. Based on this knowledge, a strategy for change can be developed. In addition to examples of proposals, letters to employees, interview questions, and feedback reports, the book presents an excellent assessment outline for use on-site. The work is built on extensive research and is ideal for external and internal consultants and graduate-level students. This book is a gem!-a one-of-kind work that is extraordinary in its comprehensiveness and depth.¤

5) Hardcover Book Organizational Assessment: A Step-by-Step Guide to Effective Consulting by American Psychological Association (APA). A comprehensive, step-by-step guide to assessing the health of an organization. Drawing on his experience, Harry Levinson shows consultants and business owners what symptoms of the ailing organization to look for and how to analyze the resulting data. Using an "open systems" approach to diagnosis, Levinson teaches his readers how to apply this technique to the problems of any malfunctioning organization - be it a business, hospital, school or church. In the process, he seeks to communicate not only the basics of his craft, but also the challenges, rewards and subtleties of it. The volume is an updated and distilled version of the author´s "Organizational Diagnosis". It covers getting started and drawing up an agreement with an organization, as well as data gathering, classification, interpretation and presentation. A case summary provides a real-life example of the author´s approach in practice. The work also presents a complete outline of the assessment process, which consultants can refer to. Appendices include a sample final report and other material that should help the reader use the outline more effectively.¤
