Abstract

The Managerial Grid is examined as an organization development approach for a large manufacturing corporation. Using the case study method, the results of a seven year history of Grid activities are measured in terms of performance, culture, and several other categories. Conclusions are reached that Phase 2 of the Grid has a statistically significant impact on the organization when measured against Phase ø (no Grid activity) and the results of Phase 1 (the Grid Seminar). The paper also discusses the significance of change and five other approaches to behavioral science-based organization development.
