I have been invited to comment on two papers printed in this issue of the British Journal of Management ('Organizational discourse and new organization development practices' by Bob Marshak and David Grant; 'Organizational change and the importance of embedded assumptions' by Ian Palmer and Richard Dunford) and I am delighted to do so as each addresses issues fundamental to continued progress in the field of organizational change. Ideas and theory exist in a marketplace in the organizational sciences. Ideas and theory that add value will persist and develop; those that do not will eventually be replaced by more promising ideas and more valid theory. Each of these papers enters the marketplace of ideas threatening to overturn some aspects of conventional wisdom. I reflect on these papers from the perspective of examining the potential impact of the emerging field of organizational discourse on the field of organization development (OD) and the broader field of organizational change.
