--Michael Beer, professor emeritus, Harvard Business School; chairman, Center for Organizational Fitness

--Russell Ackoff, professor emeritus, Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania

"Two of the leaders of the field of OD have collaborated to present us with a compelling and controversial state of the art."
