The International Handbook of Organizational Culture and Climate

Organizational culture and climate continues to engage academic interest and debate. Culture has increasingly been linked to a diverse range of individuals and organizational behaviours. However, despite the international interest and importance of the concept, the dominant literature in this field has tended to reflect an Anglo-US model and perspective. There are no significant texts which have attempted to combine and integrate the more traditional with the more emergent perspective. This book will be the first volume to offer authoritative, critical and comprehensive discussion and information on the topic. It will review the current state of the art in terms of the theoretical and methodological issues and problems and it will consider future research directions.Das Thema Unternehmenskultur und -klima genießt nach wie vor großes wissenschaftliches Interesse und wird heiß diskutiert. Dies ist das erste maßgebliche Werk, das dieses Thema kritisch und umfassend behandelt. Dabei werden alle aktuellen theoretischen und methodischen Fragen und Probleme eingehend analysiert und neue Forschungsanregungen für die Zukunft definiert. Das "Handbook of Organisational Culture" - ein einzigartiges Buch, denn es vereint sowohl amerikanische als auch europäische Sichtweisen zu dieser Thematik. Umfassend und ausgewogen in der Darstellung! About the Editors.
