Organizational development (OD) focuses on the needs and dynamics of changes in an organization. It provides inputs to devise a change program with effective intervention. This paper examines two interventions in OD: techno-structural and strategic intervention.

The techno-structural and strategic interventions address transformational and restructural changes and successful implementation of new technologies. The present study seeks to understand the perceptions of the respondents regarding the implementation of techno-structural and strategic interventions in a selected Public Sector Enterprise (PSE) in Visakhapatnam, India.
