OverviewManagement of organizational culture is a controversial topic. Can organizational culture be easily managed or can it only be influenced in an indirect way? Organizational culture pragmatics argues that organizational culture can be, should be and has been managed and they offer guidance on how to do this. Organizational culture purists find it ridiculous to talk about managing organizational culture. Organizational culture cannot be managed, it evolves. This issue does not have the intention of providing final answers to this ongoing discussion, but aims to contribute to the debate. The contributions are helpful in thinking about organizational culture and give some guidance for practitioners and researchers to avoid possible pitfalls. The contributions cover the following topics: the relationship between leadership and organizational culture; leadership is needed for changing organizational culture, but leadership itself appears to be influenced by national culture; in four cases of changes in organizations, the role of organizational culture in this change process is studied; but also the influence of the business and international orientation are aspects under scrutiny; a change project of managerial culture is described, where the importance of the dialogue in changing the organizational culture is clarified and it demonstrates how this can be realized in practice; the FOCUS-instrument to measure organizational culture is presented and the influence of national culture and sector on organizational culture is analyzed; the main influences of organizational culture on the individual members of the organization are documented; and finally, an overview of critical questions for researching as well consulting on organizational culture is presented.
