Organizational Culture and Identity by Martin Parker
This provides a well-written critique of the origins and strategic uses of the concept of organizational culture. It provides a useful coverage and critique of the existing literature, demonstrating the need for the reflexive consideration of the way in which this concept is used in management and academia' - Leadership and Organizational Development Journal
`Concerned with organizational culture, the central tenent of this book is that culture is not a harmoniously agreed principle, but a "fragmented" unity, where members are simultaneously both fragmented and unified... the book moves on to offer detailed examples of the fragmentary nature of organizational culture through the analysis of ethnographic studies undertaken by the author within three differing industries; a health authority, small manufacturing foundry and a building society, with chapers devoted to each.... The introductory theory is very well illustrated…well signposted.…[A]ppealing in its theoretical perspective to students of management & organizational studies, …its straightforward clarity will appeal to undergraduate sociology students′ - Sociology
