Organizational Traps

Leadership, Culture, Organizational Design

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Chris Argyris explores why it is that the same conflicts are experienced in organizations, yet the issues are often never addressed and ignored. He shows how our behavior creates these 'organizational traps', and that while much writing on management also shows this, it doesn't focus on how to avoid these traps.
