Product Description

Review
Nicholas J. Nicholas, Jr

President and CEO Time Warner Inc.

A substantial follow-up to the culture studies of the early 80s. The authors describe the characteristics of low and high performing corporate cultures and the arduous process required to migrate from the former to the latter. Compelling reading for all leaders concerned with renewing the vitality of their institutions.



Product Description
The authors trace the relationship between corporate culture and economic success. By examining over 200 firms, including Hewlett-Packard, Xerox, ICI and Nissan, they show how unwritten rules affect performance. They argue that a corporate culture must above all else be flexible. Organizations who believe thay have found a winning formula and become complacent enough to ignore changing conditions will often find themselves on the run. When an organization's set-up is no longer delivering success, then, say the authors, strong leadership is imperative. They give examples of the ways in which the positive visions of individual exectives have transformed the culture and performance of their companies.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very helpful work on the importance of culture., 7 Sep 1999
By A Customer
The authors conducted a major study into the realtionship between culture and economic performce showing how vital it is for an orgsanisation to have a healthy culture which fits objectives and aligns and motivates staff (901% share price growth for those that do, against 74% for those that don't). They also show how easy it is for a performance inhibiting culture to develop, even though the organisation may be full of intelligent and reasonable people. Illustrated with excellent case studies and advice. Well worth reading.
