"This lovely and important book is the clearest, most complete, and
interesting statement of sensemaking in organizations available.
. . . 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. Weick's
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 |
