Founded in 1979 by Advent veterans Andy Kotsatos and Frank Reed, Boston Acoustics is a prime manufacturer of premium home and mobile audio equipment operated out of Peabody, Massachusetts. Boston Acoustics entered the mobile audio category in 1983. Boston Acoustics manufactures many of the woofer, midrange, and tweeter transducers used in their products at the Peabody facility and maintain a complete engineering staff on site.
Boston produces speakers for home, custom/architectural, and vehicles. They also produce OEM equipment which is factory-fitted to a variety of cars including Chrysler 300, Chrysler PT Cruiser, Chrysler Sebring, Dodge Avenger, Dodge Charger, Dodge Magnum, Dodge Caliber, Jeep Commander, Jeep Grand Cherokee, and Jeep Compass vehicles. They also supply the premium 9-speaker system in the 2010 Chevrolet Camaro.
Boston Acoustics has produced home loudspeakers such as the E, HD, VR-M, & Lynnfield Series, and on the mobile side Pro, Z, & SPZ reference component speakers. The tweeters are matched within +/-1.5dB typical of high quality drivers. They have a reputation for top level sound quality but at moderate prices. Recently Boston Acoustics was granted a patent for "audio speaker having a removable voice-coil" United States Patent #7272237 for the SPG subwoofer produced by the mobile audio division. Prior to this patent, electrodynamic speakers affix the voice-coil permanently to the speaker cone. The Boston Acoustics patent allows for voice-coil removal should it become damaged during an extended overdrive condition and is the first of its kind in the consumer electronics industry.
In August 2005, D&M Holdings completed their acquisition of Boston Acoustics. BA continues to operate as a D&M subsidiary. [1]

Organizational development is important in the management of organizations. The goal of organizational development is personal, professional, and organizational growth. Organizational development is a planned process as well, one that occurs within the organization over a long period of time. Organizational development is viewed as a planned, data-based approach to change, involving goal setting, action planning, implementation, monitoring, and taking corrective action when necessary.
I learned that organizational development is a system-wide process of data collection, diagnosis, action planning, intervention and evaluation aimed at:
* Enhancing congruence between organizational structure, process, strategy, people and culture
* Developing new and creative organizational solutions
* Developing the organization’s self renewing capacity
Organization Change
Organization change is any substantive modification to some part of the organization. It involves movement from the present state of the organization to some future state. The future state may be a new strategy for the organization, changes in the organization’s culture, introduction of new technology, and so on. Change can involve virtually any aspect of an organization including work schedules, departmentalization, span of management, machinery, organizational design, and employee selection.
