Anatomía de la cultura corporativaAnatomía de la cultura corporativa (book)

Hardcover Print: $17.06

Anatomía de la cultura corporativa es un estudio pormenorizado de los elementos que conforman la cultura de las empresas. El enfoque adoptado por el autor es sistémico, siguiendo las aportaciones de la escuela de psicología de Kurt Lewin. Asímismo, la metodología empleada es eminentemente pragmática, teniéndose en cuenta los desarrollos de la teoría americana en microsociología (Garfinkel, Goffman) y análisis lingüístico (Austin, Searle, Grice). Se trata de una obra original en la medida en que supera la pobreza técnica en que caen la mayoría de estudios sobre cultura corporativa y asímismo, rebasa el carácter esquemático que presentan las teorías aludidas, desvelando su radicación en la vida y en la sociedad.

The nine fruits of leadershipThe nine fruits of leadership (book)

Print: $6.50

"Many people are able to conveniently 'segment' their lives into 'work' and 'other.' And yet we are not 'different' people outside our place of work. I have been fascinated by this for a number of years and have never really understood it. In this short pocket book, using The Nine Fruits as aspects of leadership behaviour, I hope to promote my view that we have no need to change 'the way we work' from 'the way we live' and vice versa. The 'rules' can, in my opinion be the same and based on Christian values outlined in the Nine Fruits. This book is just a 'taster' setting out some overall general thoughts and I hope you will enjoy it. It is deliberately simple. The book is going to be supported by a series of nine pocket books each dedicated to one of the Nine Fruits.

Bases of sociographyBases of sociography (book)

Print: $16.77

Download: $7.76

Bases of sociography explains the theoretical foundations of an hermeneutical approach to socially originated cultural artifacts. The author christens this approach as sociography. The roots of sociography can be found in the Hermeneutics of Gadamer, the structural anthropology of Levi Strauss, the microsociology of Erving Goffman and the pragmatics of Austin, Searle and Grice. As long as its purpose is mainly pragmatic its validity is confined to the cultural products of medium sized social realities, such as corporate environments and small groups. Although its basic character can be useful for the macro analyst who wants to start from the micro level. Felix Gerenabarrena is a Ph.D. Candidate in Hermeneutics. He has been trained in Negotiation at the Harvard Law School and has been working with companies involved in innovation processes, conflict management issues and strategy.
