As human relations consultants, our perspectives often are formed by comparing our environments with the environments of others. In this issue of G&OS we have invited two Australians to share their assess ment of training and organization development in their country.

The December 1977 issue of G&OS included Warner Burke's American perspective on organization development in Japan. We hope that the views of Burke and Nobuaki Kuniya in combination with editorial comments will give readers a balanced presentation on the salient dimensions of organization development in Japan.

We believe that the perspectives of human relations consultants can be broadened and enriched by looking beyond national boundaries. To that end, previous issues of G&OS have examined the state of training in Israel (March 1976 and June 1977) and in Australia (September 1976 and June 1977).

As human relations consultants, our perspectives on an issue evolve through our knowledge of a client's background and through experiencing the environ ment in which the client functions. We generally do our own informal research, comparing and contrasting the data we have previously collected and analyzing new data. We believe that many concerns and issues in human relations train ing could be highlighted in such a way. We plan to present many issues—areas of concern to our readers—from differing viewpoints in forthcoming issues of G&OS.
