From its inception in the 1960’s as part of the Case Institute of Technology, the Department of Organizational Behavior has had a continuing culture of innovation, exploration, and entrepreneurship around the integration of people, technology, and organizations.
In 1975 as part of the Weatherhead School of Management at the combined Case Western Reserve University, the OB department launched the Masters in Organizational Development (MOD). A groundbreaking degree to continue to deepen our understanding of leadership, teams, and how organizations grow. For over 50 years, the faculty and graduates of the MOD and now MPOD program create significant impact on their corporations and organizations. The current faculty have authored 68 Books, 415 refereed journal articles, and 241 book chapters. Our graduates are CEO’s, Chief People Officers, and Entrepreneurs helping their programs thrive.
Join us on September 25-28, 2025 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of this incredible program. It will be a time to honor the past while engaging in an effort to look towards the future.
