Product Description

Product Description

A new member of the renowned PH OD Series! The main purpose of this book is to help managers, change agents, and scholars to understand, diagnose, and facilitate the change of an organization’s culture in order to enhance its effectiveness. Diagnosing and Changing Organizational Culture presents three forms of assistance: (1) validated instruments for diagnosing organizational culture and management competency, (2) a theoretical framework for understanding organizational culture, and (3) a systematic strategy and methodology for changing organizational culture and personal behavior. It is intended to be a workbook in the sense that an individual can complete the instruments and plot their own culture profile in the book itself, and use it as a resource for leading a culture change process.

From the Back Cover

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.

In Diagnosing and Changing Organizational Culture, the authors

  • Discuss the importance of understanding organizational culture and its place in facilitating or inhibiting organizational improvement efforts
  • Provide an instrument for diagnosing organizational culture and include instructions for how to complete and score the instrument
  • Illustrate how organizations have 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 that helps managers identify the key competencies they will need to develop or improve in order to foster organizational culture change
  • Include suggestions for initiating culture change in each of four types of cultures—market culture, adhocracy culture, clan culture, and hierarchy culture
  • Offer lists of suggestions for improving management skills and competencies

5.0 out of 5 stars 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.
