Sage Publications Organizational Culture (SAGE Library in Business and Management)

Product Description Organizational culture is one of the major issues in academic research and education, in organization theory as well as in management practice. Even in organizations where cultural issues receive little explicit attention, how people in a company think, feel, value and act is guided by ideas, meanings and beliefs of a cultural (socially shared) nature. This collection of key papers on the topic has been meticulously put together by acclaimed editor and well-renowned scholar, Mats Alvesson, and covers themes including culture, image and identity, socialisation, leadership, power and conflict, ethics and communication, and much more. About the Author Mats Alvesson holds a chair in the Business Administration department at Lund University in Sweden and is also part-time professor at University of Queensland Business School and at City University, London. He has done extensive research and published widely in the areas of qualitative and reflexive methodology, critical theory, organizational culture, knowledge work, identity in organizations, gender, organizational change, leadership etc. His latest books include Reflexive Leadership (with Blom and Sveningsson, SAGE, 2016) and Return to Meaning: A Social Science with Something to Say (with Gabriel and Paulsen, University Press, 2017).
