Corporate Culture and Performance
ISBN 0-02-918467-3
Going far beyond previous empirical work, John Kotter and James Heskett provide a comprehensive
critical analysis of how the “culture” of a corporation powerfully influences its economic performance.
Harvard Business Review on Culture and Change
ISBN 1-57851-836-9
The Harvard Business Review on Culture and Change provides insights into the confusing
and often difficult process of changing workplace culture. In this diverse series of articles, the authors examine why
people resist change on both the corporate and the individual levels, show how passive aversion to cultural problems affects
company performance.
Organizational Culture and Leadership
(Third Edition)
ISBN 0-7879-7597-4
In this third edition of his classic book, Edgar Schein shows how to transform the abstract concept of culture into a practical tool that managers and students can use to understand the dynamics of organizations and change. Organizational pioneer Schein updates his influential understanding of culture--what it is, how it is created, how it evolves, and how it can be changed.
Images of an Organization
ISBN 0-7691-0634-7
“Images of Organization is MUST READING for practitioners in the overlapping fields of organizational design, management, learning, and change. . . . In Images, metaphor becomes an extraordinarily accessible and pragmatic tool. Gareth Morgan challenges us to flex our innate capacity to imagine and create-to image and evolve. . . . He is one of the most thorough researchers and imaginative theorists in the domain of organization. This piece of work is rich with examples and down-to-earth frames. ENJOY!"
Kiss Theory Goodbye
ISBN-10 09776848-0-6
ISBN-13 978-0-9776848-0-9
Prosen, who spent 25 years as an executive with top global companies including AT&T, Sprint, Hitachi, NCR, and Sabre, says he¹s had enough of the business books that tell readers what to do rather than how. "Forget the platitudes and feel-good anecdotes from a few CEOs and business gurus. Get to the point the how-to details that can actually help leaders get the results they need in the companies they run," Prosen counsels.
