The multiple perspectives through which culture is explored in this
volume show that culture in organizational settings is more
complex, pluralistic, diverse, and contradictory than previously
acknowledged. Addressing culture at various levels including
national, industrial, organizational, and suborganizational,
Cultural Complexity in Organizations provides an extremely broad,
yet concise, analysis representing the latest research. Some of the
areas of focus are implicit managerial understandings and overt
practices, the growth and decline of organizations with a focus on
culture, managerial control strategies and the dynamics of
subcultural formation, change, and temporary reconciliation, among
others. Written by a multinational and multidisciplinary group of
scholars, the contributions are based on case studies describing
situations in an array of settings such as Samsung, a car plant in
Slovenia, Hewlett-Packard, a Dutch amusement park, a U.S. software
developer, and an airline (SAS), as well as examples from the
not-for-profit sector. Using empirical data based on innovative and
multi-method research approaches, Cultural Complexity in
Organizations is an important reader that goes beyond description
to make recommendations on how to better deal with cultural
complexity in organizations. Recommended for students and
professionals in organization studies, management, gender studies,
sociology, and psychology.
