Organizational Culture and Leadership
Textbook Change Management Leadership Organizational Behavior Business & Management Corporate Culture Organizational Psychology
Edgar H. Schein’s “Organizational Culture and Leadership,” 5th edition (2017), is the field-defining textbook that executives, HR directors, and MBA students search for when they need actionable answers—not jargon—on how culture really works. Father-and-son team Edgar and Peter A. Schein distill six decades of MIT research into a single 416-page playbook that shows you how to diagnose, intervene in, and sustain high-performance cultures. Unlike pop-management books that treat culture as a “feel-good” slogan, this volume gives you tested models—artifacts, espoused values, and tacit assumptions—plus step-by-step tools such as the culture-deciphering exercise and the ten-step change roadmap. Owners of earlier editions upgrade to this 5th printing for the newest case studies on global mergers, digital startups, and healthcare systems, making the book instantly relevant for post-pandemic hybrid workplaces.
Collectors and professionals prize the current 9781119212041 paperback because it is the last edition fully updated by Edgar Schein himself before his passing, ensuring you hold the definitive version of concepts taught at Wharton, INSEAD, and Stanford. At 237 mm x 185 mm and 658 g, this Wiley print run is large enough for comfortable desk reference yet light enough to carry to off-site retreats. Interior layout improvements in the 5th edition—full-color artifact photos, revised diagrams, and margin keywords—make self-study faster and classroom discussion richer.
The copy described here offers exceptional utility: pages are unmarked, the binding is tight, and there is no highlighting to distract from the crisp models and checklists. Minor exterior wear (light cover scuffing and a small spine-top split) and a few corner creases keep the price attractive while leaving the intellectual content 100 % intact. For anyone searching “best organizational culture textbook,” “Edgar Schein 5th edition paperback,” or “used Schein Organizational Culture leadership copy,” this affordable, clean example delivers the gold-standard framework that turns culture from a vague buzzword into a manageable, leadable asset.
