Diagnosing and Changing Organizational Culture: Based on the Competing Values Framework

This is the textbook of choice for the Henley Business School MBA Leadership and Change module. It is very well written and logical in its approach. It also supports all its theories with useful practical hints and aide-memoires. For me, well worth the cost.

The forms and description of the quadrants are excellent.

The CVF has been around for decades and provides a relatively simple way of defining organisational culture. The framework has been tried and tested and well-validated.

Most of all books descripe enterprise culture often focus on macro review, from managers side, it isn't easy to follow. However, I found this book there are many values benefitting me for reference. 1. Theory and practice balance, I don't mean that it cover more cases study it it but it's easy for user try and modify his practice focus. 2. It base on the competing Values Franwork, to develop the core theory base, so it could align company's culture, strategy, leadership and people management--and so on. So it's good reference to note for reader what he should consider or prevent any miss to plan his program. 3. Appendixs, are very good. it includes the questionnaire or suggestion llist to multi aspects of culture chagne. As a middle-manager of foreigner company, i could get more reference from it and won't have any conclict between different country culture, so i recommnad it to any reviewer, whatever your are mangeers, students, scholarship and enterprise boss.

Me parecio muy teorico. No muy facil de aplicar en la vida real de la empresa.
