With this follow-up to Organizational Culture (Sage 1985), the editors continue their study of the interaction between investigation and the subject of inquiry. The editors have included a variety of frames as tools that allow readers to examine any empirical piece on organizational culture on its own merits - as good research - while at the same time, permit viewing it from other perspectives as well. Combined with a unique emphasis on process, this volume also includes reflections from the editors, pointing out their values, biases, beliefs, perceptions and experiences in research, and lending a human dimension to the research process.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Great Anthology of Organizational Culture Research!,
By byrner (The South) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Reframing Organizational Culture (Paperback)
This is a good book for grad students & researchers studying organizational sociology or organizational behavior, because despite the org culture boom of the last twenty years, it's hard to find a good collection of representative articles with solid academic standards. Cheese-whiz "culture management" books are a dime a dozen, but for the good stuff you have to really dig. Anyway, this book is really solid--with articles by many of the big names in the field (Schein, Martin, etc) and solid articles by many others. This book adopts Meyerson & Martin's now classic typology: Integration, Differentiation, Fragmentation, to classify the studies. It's a very helpful framework to use--particularly in a field so divided. My only negative comment on this book, and the reason I give it four stars instead of five is it doesn't have an index. Good grief! Who makes an academic research book without an index? That is really a downer when you're trying to read across articles on a specific term such as "cultural artifacts." Complaints aside, I've found the book to be a great resource while working on my thesis research. Frost also has a 1985 book, Organizational Culture. It's another anthology, but focused on theories of org culture. It's good too, but this one is better. Incidentally, I also highly recommend Joanne Martin's book, Organizational Culture: Mapping the Terrain. I really admire this book. More than anyone else I've been reading in this field, Martin really seems to have her finger on the pulse of the most imaginative aspects of organizational culture.
