Ehrhart, Schneider, and Macey have created a rich, thoughtful, and comprehensive resource for scholars and practitioners. They lead us through a wide range of complex issues with style and substance. You'll know a lot more about culture and climate after you read it. I know I did! -- Daniel Denison, Ph.D., IMD Business School, Switzerland I can easily rate this book Excellent because it breaks new ground regarding the integration of scholarship and practice, quantitative and qualitative methods for studying and changing organizational climate and culture and includes a sizeable body of literature -- W. Warner Burke, Teachers College, Columbia University This volume offers a powerful and scholarly overview of the climate and culture literatures and seeks to integrate them. The authors are hugely knowledgeable about these areas and so it is just a treasure trove of information. It offers new insights about the links between strategy and culture and offers a comprehensive overview of measurement methods for climate and culture.The authors take clear positions on some of the key controversies in the field: the writing is clear: there are good summaries at the end of each chapter and some novel methods of communicating key issues to readers. One such is the use of a summary of key critiques of some concepts with the authors helpful responses to critiques. The authors do not, as so many academics do, sit on the fence in relation to key controversies -- Michael West, Sheffield UK
