| Author: | M. Carlsson |
| Abstract:
At the 2nd and 3rd Symposia papers describing some different "task" aspects of the Swedish TEU-method for result analysis and planning of horticultural firms were presented This paper contains some experiences from the implementation and method development work. First a summary of the discussion of similar problems in the literature (advisory service, operation research, “the Kolb-Frohman Organization Development Approach to consulting”) is presented. Then different steps of the implementation work within TEU are described and some remarks are given about the consultant/client relationship in TEU. It is finally shown how implementation aspects have had consequences for the method development work. | |
