Abstract:
This edited volume brings new ideas to the study of national culture and organizational culture as it explores their naturally existing intersections. However, these intersections can be difficult to identify and study, as national culture changes generationally whereas organizational culture can change relatively quickly based on leadership change, product innovation, and new uses of technology. Too frequently, the study of culture is discipline specific with little consideration given to how culture is examined in other disciplines.To reconsider both national culture and organizational culture, and their interdependencies, 18 scholars from 16 institutions, 13 states, and 4 disciplines were invited to a workshop funded by the U.S. Army Research Institute. This book evolved from two days of discussions and reflections.This book reflects and integrates the contributions of over 1,000 academics across the social science and management disciplines as they reconsider cultural definitions, theories, and methodologies; explore the purposes, functions, and influences of culture; and reveal the influences of communication, language, leadership, and technology on cultural change. This is an ideal text for advanced undergraduate and graduate coursework, and those interested in cultural influences more generally.
Abstract:
“Culture 2.0: The Intersection of National and Organizational Culture is a wonderful and insightful read for anybody interested in the eternal puzzle that is culture. Whereas most studies tend to focus on this or that aspect of culture, or either on micro or macro levels, the chapters of this edited volume importantly draw connections across national and organizational (or institutional) cultures to address that fundamental question: Why is it that we do what we do? The chapters not only draw from a wide variety of academic disciplines, but they consider a host of practical factors and outcomes shaping and shaped by culture—ranging from leadership to culture change, and from technology to cross-cultural communication. This book is a must for gaining cultural competence.”—Rahul Mitra, Associate Professor, Communication, Wayne State University, USA...
Abstract:
“Culture 2.0: The Intersection of National and Organizational Culture, edited by Dr. Joann Keyton, distinguished professor emerita at North Carolina State University, makes a timely contribution to examine the complicated mechanisms as related to national cultures and organizational cultures. Through various contributing chapters, Keyton and co-authors advance knowledge of the topic by providing collective views from diverse perspectives, including but are not limited to cultural functions and influences, changing leadership, culture discourse, and technological influences on culture. As addressed in this book, the critical thinking built around the concept of Culture 2.0 deserves more attention.”—Juan Meng, Department Head and Associate Professor, Advertising and Public Relations at the University of Georgia, USA; Author of PR Women with Influence: Breaking through the Ethical and Leadership Challenges (Peter Lang, 2021)...
Abstract:
“Culture 2.0: The Intersection of National and Organizational Culture moves well beyond the usual prescriptive and hones in on often neglected spaces and tools of influence and potential transformation. In this way, authors weave in the concepts of power and systems interconnections relating to culture to address contemporary leadership challenges. This book is a must-read for anyone grappling with how to create change systemically and sustainably.”—Wanda Krause, Associate Professor, School of Leadership Studies, Royal Roads University, British Columbia; Author of Civil Society and Women Activists in the Middle East; Women in Civil Society; and Spiritual Activism; Editor of Citizenship, Security, & Democracy...
Abstract:
“This book provides sophisticated insights into the complex systems of meaning that constitute our everyday organizational lives. Attending to both national and organizational levels of analysis, the authors offer a unique cross-disciplinary approach that demonstrates the value of understanding culture across anthropological, psychological, sociological, communicative, and managerial perspectives. This book provides an essential foundation for contemporary scholars interested in exploring the intersections among culture and leadership, management, international relations, research methods, technology, discourse, and change in an increasingly interconnected society.”—John G. McClellan, Associate Professor, Department of Culture and Learning, Aalborg University, Denmark...
Abstract:
“It is always amazing when authors get together to discuss a topic. Based on conversations and studies, different experiences reveal the numerous perspectives on the complex topic of organizational culture. This expanded look at the different fields of knowledge in this book inspires advances. A toast to this work and its authors, which reveal theories and practices to delve into the density of organizations and understand that harmony comes from the behavior of people who transform organizational cultures with communication, discourse and language.”—Marlene Marchiori, writer and teacher, Brazil; https://marlenemarchiori.com.br/...
Abstract:
“For both the novice and the expert, this volume provides an instructive set of studies and comprehensive reviews aimed at deepening our understanding of the links between national culture and organizational culture in an increasingly globalized context. The book provides important insights into the ubiquity and complexity of culture, particularly in attempts to understand its practical implications for organizations. This is the first time I have come across one volume of work which focuses significantly on the different philosophical and disciplinary concerns related to culture—national and organizational—as well as the myriad of methodological approaches from which it has been studied.”—Eric Karikari, Assistant Professor of Communication, Towson University, USA...
