Routledge Organizational Culture and Paradoxes in Management

Explore the complex relationship between culture, change, and social processes within organizations. This academic text from the Routledge Studies in Management, Organizations and Society series examines the historical gap between pragmatic change methodologies and the deep understanding of firm processes. While many approaches to organizational change focus on simple methodologies to allow for quick intervention, they often overlook the complexity of the data. This book addresses that gap by looking at the ambiguity of organizations and the difficulty of forming a single theory of change. By studying firms and families, it provides a look at the challenges of reaching a unitary view of organizational processes. This is a valuable resource for those studying the social processes that shape how businesses operate and evolve over time.
