Organizational Culture is the newest book in the prestigious Foundations for Organizational Science Series and provides a thourough interdisciplinary overview of the organizational culture literature. It shows how and why researchers have disagreed about such fundamental questions as: * what is organizational culture? * what are the major theoretical perspectives used to understand cultures in organizations? * can a researcher decipher the political interests inherent in research that claims to be politically neutral as merely "descriptive"?
