A Provisional Approach to Organizational Culture - The Organization of Culture (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9783639037791)

The focus of my book seeks to examine prominent conceptions of culture from an organizational framework, a crucial theoretical and methodological perspective for interpreting culture. This objective reflects a new and constructive way to interpret why and how human beings organize culture, and how they organize their interpretation of their place in the world from the environments surrounding them. From ethnographic research of past anthropologists and present research of corporate culture, my thesis argues that the human capacity for culture evolved through organizational processes members find necessary to operate in a manner acceptable to other members of society. The use of organizational literature in my methodological approach in association with historic postulates, premises, principles, and models in cultural anthropology, has effectively confirmed the belief that an anthropologists underlying conception of culture starts and finishes with an elaborate organization of culture.
