Understanding Organizational Culture by Mats Alvesson
Synthesizes for students the advances in the field of organizational culture and also uses in-depth examples to develop and illustrate ideas on how cultural thinking can be used in managerial and non- managerial organizational theory and (theory-supported) practice.
′Understanding Organizational Culture is a most timely and comprehensive bookAnd Mats Alvesson is surely one of our most intrepid and intellectually astute authors writing on this topic. This is a lively, enthusiastic text that covers a good deal of territory, looking at a variety of contemporary organizational cultures. It manages to convey just why organizational culture studies continue to grow in number and quality. The book is fascinating, usefully provocative and of considerable relevance to understanding the source of so much of our work-a-day pleasures and frustrations′ - John Van Maanen, Professor of Organization Studies, Massachusetts Institute of Technology
