Organizational Culture

Herausgeber: Alvesson, Mats

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Organizational culture is one of the major issues in academic research and education, in organization theory as well as in management practice. Even in organizations where cultural issues receive little explicit attention, how people in a company think, feel, value and act is guided by ideas, meanings and beliefs of a cultural (socially shared) nature. This collection of key papers on the topic has been meticulously put together by acclaimed editor and well-renowned scholar, Mats Alvesson, and covers themes including culture, image and identity, socialisation, leadership, power and conflict, ethics and communication, and much more.
