Effective, sustainable cultural change requires evolution, not disruption

The Corporate Culture Survival Guide is the essential primer and practical guide every organisation needs. Corporate culture pioneer Edgar H. Schein breaks the concept of 'culture' down into real terms, delving into the behaviours, values, and shared assumptions that define it, and explains why culture is the central factor in an organisation's successβ€”or failure.

This new third edition is designed specifically for practitioners needing to apply these practices in real-world settings, and has been updated with new coverage of globalisation, technology, and managerial competencies. You'll learn how to get past subconscious bias to assess whether or not your existing culture truly serves your organisation, and how to introduce change and manage the change process over time for a best-case-scenario outcome. Case studies illustrate successful change in real companies, providing models and setting the bar for dismantling dysfunctional cultures.

Corporate culture begins with the founder, and evolvesβ€”or notβ€”over time. Is your culture working for or against your organisation? How can it be optimised? This book separates the truth from the nonsense to provide real-world guidance on initiating and managing cultural change.

  • Understand when to assess your culture, and how to do it objectively
  • Learn how cultures evolve and change over time, for better or worse
  • Discover the reality of multiculturalism amidst the rise of globalisation
  • Evolve your culture to more effectively serve your organisation

Each of us is a part of many culturesβ€”what you do, where you live, where you grew up, what you enjoy, how you live; in the workplace, many different people with many different cultures come together toward a common goalβ€”will these cultures clash or synergise? The Corporate Culture Survival Guide shows you how to create an overarching corporate culture that gets everyone on the same page to drive your organisation's success.
