Abstract: Changing 'organizational culture' is a major preoccupation in both the public and the private sectors. Anthropology of Organizations critically examines 'the culture concept' from an anthropological perspective. For the first time, this volume brings together anthropological studies of the complex ways people make and contest meanings in organizational settings. Covering topics across the First and Third Worlds, these studies raise theoretical issues about organizational culture, gender and power, whilst also being concerned with policy and practice.
