Product Description

Diagnosing and Changing Organizational Culture provides a framework, a sense-making tool, a set of systematic steps, and a methodology for helping managers and their organizations carefully analyze and alter their fundamental culture. Authors, Cameron and Quinn focus on the methods and mechanisms that are available to help managers and change agents transform the most fundamental elements of their organizations. The authors also provide instruments to help individuals guide the change process at the most basic level—culture. Diagnosing and Changing Organizational Culture offers a systematic strategy for internal or external change agents to facilitate foundational change that in turn makes it possible to support and supplement other kinds of change initiatives.

From the Back Cover

The third edition of the best–selling book Diagnosing and Changing Organizational Culture offers a proven framework and methodology for helping managers and their organizations carefully analyze and alter their fundamental culture. This book contains validated instruments for diagnosing organizational culture and management competency, a theoretical framework for understanding organizational culture, and a systematic strategy for changing organizational culture and personal behavior.

Designed to be a hands–on resource, the book includes a wealth of instruments that leaders can use to plot their organization′s culture profile. Diagnosing and Changing Organizational Culture includes a management competency assessment instrument to help facilitate personal change in order to effectively support culture change. The book can also serve as an information source for explaining a robust framework of culture types. The Competing Values Framework is probably the most frequently applied framework in the world for assessing culture, and it has proved to be very useful to a variety of companies in clarifying the culture change process, as well as instigating significant managerial leadership improvement.

Filled with new examples and a step–by–step formula for organizational change, this thoroughly revised third edition also contains a downloadable online version of the Management Skills Assessment Instrument and the Organizational Culture Assessment Instrument.
