The Research and Development Approach to the Study of Change

What I have to say on the question of values in actionstems largely from a rather deep and personal involvement with this question for the past five years. In 1952, quite by design, although unexpectedly and suddenly, I found myself in the delicate position of having assumed the role of patrón (in the name of Cornell University) of a Peruvian hacienda, called Vicos, for a period of five years, for the purpose of conducting a research and development program on the modernization process.
