How culture change is managed at each stage and in different types of organizations is emphasized as a central concern of leader behavior. This landmark book is considered the defining resource in the field. Drawing on a wide range of research, this fifth edition contains 25 percent new and revised material to provide the most relevant new concepts and perspectives alongside the basic culture model that has helped to define the field.
