Customer Reviews:
Long of tooth and structurally weak
By T. Ringham "IndyHawk" - October 27, 2011While some of the case study descriptions are interesting, Schein's structure to this book is difficult. His constant referencing of chapters yet to read and chapters read illustrates the flaw of his difficult structure. His main examples are becoming aged and while I am sure still have some relevance to the research world, it causes one to read with some skepticism relative to today's work environment and it much more diverse workforce. The last chapter's presentation of leadership qualities was interesting, but hardly worthy as the reward of struggling through the remainder of the book.
Layman's Guide to Understanding Organizational Culture
By Don C. - July 23, 2011This book really helped me to understand why our Operational Excellence deployment was not working. Our OE deployment has cultural transformation as its mission versus just teaching Lean Six Sigma improvement tools. This book provided me with a basic understanding of the components of culture and how to influence them.
Also, I think the book is written a layman's level. Organizational culture is a complex topic, but the author develops a concise model that he exercises for the reader with real-world research examples.
I highly recommend this book.

Just as an anthropologist would research kinship & values of an obscure tribe, Schein analyses corporate cultural artifacts like brand images, trademarks, graphic art, multimedia ads, architecture, mottoes & slogans, and other expressions of corporate culture to determine the values & relationships of corporations . Schein provides a framework by which to recognize unique insights into the 'personality' & values of modern corporations. Schein's research is genuinely original in its application of cultural anthropological concepts to firms that often seem impersonal or spend millions on Mad Ave to devise a non-factual image of 'espoused values' which belie internal arti-FACTS. Inconsistencies between what is presented to the customer vs what is presented to the stock-holder are apparent upon deeper, 'thicker description'. A... read more
