Contents:
Introduction: rethinking organizational culture -- Foundations of cultural studies -- The pre-history of organizational culture -- Models of organizational culture -- Sexism, racism and other common cultural practices -- Redeeming organizational culture: stories and storytelling.
Summary: "What is organizational culture? Why does it matter? This book demonstrates that conventional wisdom on this fundamental business topic has surpassed its usefulness. The author comes neither to praise scholarship on culture, nor to bury it - rather to build something fit for purpose by reflecting on the power of stories and storytelling. Rethinking Organizational Culture argues that that the entrenched models of organizational culture wrench thinking, feeling and action from a context that intuition warns us is complex and problematic. Arguing that novels and novelists offer an opportunity to redeem 'organizational culture', the text invites readers to recognise that stories of organization offer connections with organizational profanity, organized polyphony, and the organizationally prosaic. A stimulating and provocative read, this book will be welcomed by students, scholars and reflective practitioners across the business field"-- Provided by publisher.
