A "reference" book !, 10 April 2000
By A Customer
...Cameron and Quinn basically:* discuss the importance of understanding organizational cultureand its central place in facilitating or inhibiting organizational improvement efforts. * provide the instrument (The Organizational Culture Assessment Instrument-OCAI) for diagnosing organizational culture and instructions for how to complete and score it. (OCAI produces an overall organizational culture profile.) * provide a more thorough explanation of the theoretical framework (The Competing Values Framework) upon which the OCAI is based. (The Competing Values Framework explains the underlying value orientations that characterize organizations.) * illustrate how the organizations designed a strategy to change their current culture to better match their preferred culture. * focus on the personal change needed to support and facilitate culture change. * provide an instrument (Management Skills Assessment Instrument-MSAI) that helps managers identify the key competencies they will need to develop or improve in order to foster organizational culture change. * provide suggestions for initiating culture change in each four types of cultures (market culture, adhocracy culture, clan culture, hierarchy culture). * provide lists of suggestions for improving management skills and competencies associated with the MSAI. I highly recommend this invaluable study to all executives. (Reviewed by FreeImageOnline Human Resources Group, Istanbul, Turkey)
