Abstract

Is organization development OD culturebound to American and Western applied behavioral science or exportable There is evidence that one concept and set of techniques called ho'oponopono, which were developed in ancient Hawaii but are still practiced today, have close parallels to OD techniques in conflict management used by pacesetting American corporations. Ho'oponopono is apparently culturally transferable. Thus OD has been uniquely addressed in a culture far removed from urbanindustrial America and is, with minor adaptations, applicable to contemporary corporations. Perhaps ODand certainly at least the ho'oponopono methodology for conflict managementcan be made culturally fungible. The paper concludes with an explanation of how this transferability can be made in ho'oponopono.
