Beskrivning
The contribution of Edgar H. Schein to the field of management, organisation studies and applied behavioural science is both extensive and deep. For almost 70 years, he has creatively and systematically shaped theory and practice in areas including organisation development and change, career dynamics, the cultural dynamics of complex systems, leadership, process consultation and the clinical inquiry/research paradigm. He has written extensively on the process of organisational change and framed the construct of the clinical approach to research. With such an extensive corpus over such a long period, Schein has been termed a “transcendent thought leader” and it is in this spirit that a volume exploring his work offers a contribution how scholars and practitioners can come to understand their engagement in organisations. This singular volume adopts a reflective perspective on the work of Edgar Schein as a social scientist and shows how he developed his craft as an engaged organisational scholar-practitioner through reflexive attention to his experience in working with managers and organisations and generating knowledge out of action. The intended contribution is both to present Schein’s work to students and scholars of organisation studies and to offer a reflexive methodological framework to engage scholar-practitioner in any field.The Open Access version of this book, available at http://www.taylorfrancis.com, has been made available under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives (CC-BY-NC-ND) 4.0 license.

Recensioner i media

"Coghlan's engaging analysis of Schein's work makes this book a must-have for anyone interested in becoming a more thoughtful scholar-practitioner or consultant. Coghlan's style is clear, concise, and easy to read, yet the work is highly sophisticated, offering irresistible reflections, questions, and a robust reference list in every chapter. The book addresses the impact and enormity of Schein's lifetime of work and does so in a logical and approachable way. Every chapter irresistibly draws the reader into a deep reflection about their own interiority, considered alongside that of one of the most influential thinkers of our time. We wholeheartedly recommend this book to anyone—whether an academic, a business professional, or a student—interested in learning about Edgar Schein and his impact on OD and related fields." Pamela Kay Caldwell and Tonya L. Henderson, Organizational Development Journal, Winter 2024"Coghlan’s (2024) practical knowledge and experience of applying Schein’s ethos in his own scholarly career, alongside personal dialogues with Schein himself, offers a synthesis that is both authentic and rich. It prompts us to reflect on the craft of becoming a social scientist who can make a difference. Deep reflexive attention to “how we come to know what we know as it occurs (that is in the present tense)” (Coghlan, 2024: 164) helps us understand how our action and research influence the managers and leaders we interact with and affects future management practice." Jane McKenzie, University of Reading, Henley Business School"This is an extremely engaging book for anyone interested in the development of action learning, action research, and associated domains, such as organisational studies, culture, leadership and change management. It discusses Schein’s contributions to these and related areas." Brian Lehaney, Werner Podkowik & Ria Wild, Worcester Business School
