The sense-making process looks at how the creation of reality occurs when people make retrospective sense of the situations in which they find themselves.While James March and Richard Cyert are exponents of the rational decision-making approach, Karl Weick is considered the "guru" within academic sense-making circles. This text brings together Weick's best-known articles on sense-making. Published over the past two decades, they have appeared in well-known journals such as Administrative Science Quarterly and the California Management Review. Students and scholars of organizational theory will delight in this authoritative collection.
