Abstract

The purpose of this special issue is to recognize and reflect on the contributions and legacy of scientist-practitioner W. Warner Burke. Burke's many contributions to the theory and practice of organization development over the past six decades have had both a foundational and evolutionary impact on the field. This special issue presents seven articles that reflect various facets of his contribution as a colleague, scholar, practitioner, and mentor.
