New & Revised
Edition
The Corporate Culture Survival Guide gives change leaders the tools they need to work with the culture they have in order to get the results they want. Corporate culture, once
an ivory-tower topic for business scholars and sociologists, has
become an issue of vital concern to managers, executives, and
consultants on the front lines of change. Why? Because the
increasing number of mergers, acquisitions, and reengineering
happening today have put corporate cultures on a collision course,
and managers who want to integrate must first understand the complex
mix of behaviors, values, and shared assumptions that underlie the
way organizations operate. He gives readers clear
guidance for evaluating their organization's current culture and
determining whether it continues to be the best fit for its people,
goals, and products. He also provides practical advice for effecting
culture change in companies of all kinds in a format that anyone can
readily understand and follow. About the Revised
Edition: Corporate culture pioneer Edgar H. Schein gets back to
basics and delivers a dynamite primer on changing cultures packed
with practical advice. Here, Schein separates the sense from the
nonsense regarding culture change theory and practice and tells in
plain terms how readers can assess their organization to determine
if its current culture fits its people and products. He then
examines corporate culture on three levels--behaviors, values, and
shared assumptions--and shows how each factors into change
initiatives. Framed around the questions managers ask most often,
the book uses case studies to show what successful change looks like
and to demonstrate how you can dismantle a dysfunctional culture. Edgar H. Schein is Sloan Fellows Professor of Management Emeritus and a senior lecturer at the Sloan School of Management at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He is founding editor of the journal of the Society for Organizational Learning, and author of numerous books, including Organizational Culture & Leadership. Table of Contents of the 1999 Edition:
