Description: "Framing his chapters around the questions managers most often ask - what is corporate culture? How can I assess it? How can I change it? - Schein defines in plain terms the ingredients of corporate culture and explains how it influences the way people do their jobs. He gives readers clear guidance for evaluating their organization's current culture and determining whether it continues to be the best fit for its people, goals, and products. He also provides practical advice for effecting culture change in companies of all kinds in a format that anyone can readily understand and follow."--Jacket.
