Описание книги

Culture in management is an important issue from both theoretical and practical points of view. Culture is a universal medium, in which people act and organisations are submerged. It is a basis for all processes, such as communication; and it also remains an open and ambiguous phenomenon. This book deals with different visions of culture in management, emphasising epistemological and methodological pluralism, and the need for the development of new, creative concepts of culture. The book presents reflections on the most significant cognitive problems of cultural currents, provides an analysis of well-known and popular functionalist concepts of culture in management and ends with a presentation of less popular perspectives.

Cultural Reflection in Management

.....

The typology of weak and strong cultures is one of the most-often analysed issues of the cultural current in management. The subject literature is dominated by the belief that strong organisational culture prevails. Strong organisational culture is characterised by homogeneity, which means uniformity and common agreement among employees as to key assumptions, values and norms. Strong identification with organisational values is supposed to lead to the greater involvement of employees and, in consequence, to greater effectiveness85. Internal cultural incoherence, the manifestation of which is the emergence of subcultures or even counter-cultures, could lead to a disintegration of the organisation (Tab. 5).
