Review
"A truly insightful look which explains culture, organizations and
a post-modern perspective in a clean and interesting manner."--Don
R. Osborn, Bellarmine University
"Great book! It's going right onto my organizational theory seminar
required reading."--Howard Aldrick, University of North Carolina,
Chapel Hill
"Joanne Martin is an astute and insightful analyst of
organizational culture, who continually probes below the surface to
reveal the reality buried beneath official
pronouncements."--Rosabeth Moss Kanter, author of When Giants Learn
to Dance
"A pioneering effort by a leading student of organizational culture
to bring order to the maze of perspectives that this research area
has thus far comprised....An insightful and articulate volume that
will challenge scholars at the same time it edifies students. One
need not accept the author's theoretical relativism in order to
appreciate and embrace the practical reflexivity that she advocates
and that the book exemplifies. This is a book that the
organizational-culture field has needed."--Paul DiMaggio, Princeton
University
"A work of intellectual depth and synthesis enlivened by a direct
and personal writing style."--Andrew M. Pettigrew, Warwick Business
School
"Every social scientist should read this book. Joanne Martin makes
Ockham's razor as obsolete as Gillette made the straight razor. She
shows why clear, simple theories block scientific progress, and she
shows us a better way to theorize."--William H. Starbuck, Stern
School of Business, New York University
"Martin has mastered the elusive concept of organizational culture
and shows us how to think about it and think with it. This book
should become the conceptual benchmark for future studies of
culture."--Karl E. Weick, The University of Michigan
"The strength--and educational value--of this book is that it gives
the reader the comfort of a solid theoretical framework and, at the
same time, the desire to go beyond it."--Pasquale Gagliardi,
Istituto Studi Direzionale
"One of the best references I've seen."--Velma M. Guillory-Taylor,
Sonoma State University
