Terrence E. Deal Reihenfolge der Bücher (Chronologisch)

Bolman and Deal consolidate key learnings from organization theory into four practical, easy-to-understand perspectives or "frames": structural, human resource, political, and symbolic. These frames provide a complete portrait of an organization and allow managers to clarify issues and create a flexible, dynamic, "big picture" management strategy. Using numerous examples from business, education, health care, and the public sector, the authors demonstrate how to integrate these four frames into a powerful and coherent strategy that can be applied to any organization. Drawing on a wealth of new material, fresh insights, and current examples, this more concise second edition of Reframing Organizations provides a sharp perspective on the rapidly changing business and political climate of the late 1990s.

This best-selling classic explains how managers can use the powerful tool of reframing--looking at situations from a variety of vantage points--to build high-performance organizations.

Business experts everywhere have been finding that corporations run not only on numbers, but on culture. Organization consultants Terrence Deal and Allan Kennedy probe the conference rooms and corridors of corporate America to discover the key to business excellence. They find that the health of the bottom line is not ultimately guaranteed by attention to the rational aspects of managing—financial planning, personnel policies, cost controls, and the like. What's more important to long-term prosperity is the company's culture—the inner values, rites, rituals, and heroes—that strongly influence its success, from top management to the secretarial pool.For junior and senior managers alike, Deal and Kennedy offer explicit guidelines for diagnosing the state of one's own corporate culture and for using the power of culture to wield significant influence on how business gets done.
