Abstract

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to highlight the gap in organizational change literature in general and the large group interactive method (LGIM) literature in particular. Design/methodology/approach By comparing LGIM and training literature studies, the absence of a concept in the former literature parallel to the well-known concept of “transfer of training” is highlighted. The concept of the transfer of change is introduced to address this gap. Findings This paper suggests that the transfer of change is as important to the success of organizational change initiatives as transfer of training is to the success of training programs. Originality/value This paper is the first to introduce the concept of transfer of change to the organizational change and LGIM literature studies. Furthermore, a tentative research agenda regarding transfer of change and LGIMs is presented. Therefore, the paper is a valuable resource for researchers who study organizational change initiatives in general and LGIMs in particular.

“变革的转移”与大群体干预方法:组织变革文献中一个被忽视的话题的研究呼吁

本文的目的是突出组织变革文献中的差距，特别是大群体互动方法(LGIM)文献。通过比较LGIM和培训文献研究，突出了在以前的文献中缺少一个与众所周知的“培训转移”概念平行的概念。引入变更转移的概念是为了解决这一差距。研究结果表明，变革转移对组织变革计划的成功至关重要，正如培训转移对培训计划的成功同等重要。本文首次将变革转移的概念引入到组织变革和LGIM的文献研究中。在此基础上，提出了变革转移与地方政府融资的初步研究议程。因此，这篇论文对于研究组织变革主动性的研究者来说是一个有价值的资源。

期刊介绍： Development and Learning in Organizations: An International Journal is a unique management information resource for today"s busy managers who are seeking to develop their organization in the right direction. Case studies on leading companies and viewpoints from some of the best thinkers in the area of organizational development and learning combine to make this journal a very welcome addition to the management literature. In addition, as part of our special service, we scour through the mass of academic and non-academic literature to ensure that we keep up to date with the best and newest ideas. We then distil this information for our readers and present the most meaningful implications for managers in easy-to-digest reviews and commentaries.
