True

Answer to Question 2

OD is a process designed to increase organization effectiveness by integrating the desires of the individual for growth and development with organization goals. OD differs from other change programs because of the use of: (1) a planned strategy to achieve organizational change; (2) a practitioner, either internal or external; (3) an emphasis on collaboration in change; and (4) a belief in humanistic values about people and organizations.
