MCGREGOR
Douglas McGregor and Richard Beckhard while "consulting together at General Mills in the
1950's, the two coined the term organizational development (OD) to describe an innovative
bottoms-up change effort that fit no traditional consulting categories.
MCGREGOR - THEORY X
Y

    his 1960 book 'The Human Side Of Enterprise'.
   Theory x and theory y are still referred to commonly in the field of management and
    motivation, and whilst more recent studies have questioned the rigidity of the model,
   McGregor's X-Y Theory remains a valid basic principle from which to develop positive
    management style and techniques.
   McGregor's XY Theory remains central to organizational development, and to improving
    organizational culture.
THEORY X Y
ROBERT BLAKE
Dr. Robert R. Blake (January 21,

American management
theoretician. He did pioneer work
