Chapter Chapter 2 in The Flow of Organizational Culture, 2020, pp 7-16 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract How does organizational culture form in real time? I present an overview of this topic using the formation of a fictional community garden organization for explanation. This chapter also presents a brief history of the thinking and literature of organizational culture as it emerged in the 1950s, beginning with Deal and Kennedy and Pettigrew. It outlines some of the theory and suggests why the work of Edgar Schein changed the field.
