Organizational Culture: Ignorance, Quackery or Play Your Culture - Paperback

by Cisca Jager (Author), Bob Waisfisz (Author)

To measure organizational culture of organizations is an enormous challenge not well understood by most scientists and practitioners. As a result a lot of low-value consulting is sold to clients under the banner of organizational culture. In these cases nobody knows whether clients receive a description of their organizational culture or whether it is about labor satisfaction or related issues. In this book the reader is told how to separate the wheat from the chaff. The book also provides practical tools for assessing how an organization's culture can be aligned with its strategy and how to implement necessary changes in a positive and lighthearted way.
