Product Description

Product Description
This volume brings together the best–known and most influential articles on sensemaking in organizations by one of its most distinguished exponents, Karl Weick.

  • Brings together the best most influential articles written by one of the gurus of sensemaking – Karl Weick.
  • Helps readers develop a thorough understanding of the sensemaking process – essential for effective management.


From the Back Cover
This volume brings together the best–known and most influential articles on sensemaking by one of its most distinguished exponents, Karl Weick.

Weick explores the process of how organizations discover that they face important decisions. Often organizations have discussions in order to see what they think, or act in order to see what they want – before they are even aware that a decision has to be made. The effective organization is one that understands this process of sensemaking and learns to manage it with wisdom. The ways in which people do that are demonstrated in chapters of this book.

This important collection provides a valuable addition to the international literature on organization theory and will be welcomed by students and researchers alike.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent collection of Weick's articles, 6 Jul 2001
By A Customer
Karl Weick is an oustanding scholar of organizations, and this collection of many of his articles from the last two decades details his contribution. His focus in many of them is inter-subjective sensemaking in organizations, and he often chooses situations where sensemaking breaks down to illustrate significant truths about organizational processes.

Even if you have read many of these papers before this is a must-buy - to see his work collected together, and to read the man himself locating the papers in their context.
