It will have an impact on both new and experienced scholars.\" --Bob Sutton  Stanford University \"Weick is artful. He masterfully constructs the sensemaking theoretical framework so that it can be better understood by the general scholar and in the process provides the reader with the sensemaking experience.\" --Kathleen Sutcliffe  University of Minnesota The teaching of organization theory and the conduct of organizational research have been dominated by a focus on decision making and the conception of strategic rationality. The rational model  however  ignores the inherent complexity and ambiguity of real-world organizations and their environments. Karl E. Weicks new landmark volume  Sensemaking in Organizations  highlights how the \"sensemaking\" process--the creation of reality as an ongoing accomplishment that takes form when people make retrospective sense of the situations in which they find themselves--shapes organizational structure and behavior. Some of the topics Weick thoroughly covers are the concept  uniqueness  historical roots  varieties and occasions  general properties  and the future of sensemaking research and practice. Expertly written  Sensemaking in Organizations is the volume that students  scholars  and professors of organization and management studies must have.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45280468992053,"sku":"ByrdShop_080397177X","price":167.34,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780803971776.jpg?v=1780637743","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/sensemaking-in-organizations-foundations-for-organizational-science-9780803971776","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
