    I think that Conna points out a major consideration that is badly needed
    (but usually is missing) in many discussions in management and
    organizational development.

    The consideration is that there is a vast difference in the nature and
    needs of organizations, and this difference depends a great deal on
    their size, life cycles and the services/products.

    Traditional management and organization development literature (and
    training) is dominated by focus on large, for-profit corporations.
