This exciting new text provides a coherent overview of the principal ideas and frameworks for organisational culture, how and why cultures change, and the linkages between culture, strategy and performance. It goes on to look at how organisational culture can affect business performance, illustrating all concepts and theory throughout with topical case examples taken from European companies.
The text begins by giving an introduction to the basic tenets of organisational culture before going on to build on these in a study of the development of cultures, sub-cultures and national cultures. The final chapter draws together the concepts discussed and speculates on future developments in the field of organisational culture.
