"This book is a guide for organizational leaders and members as well as a descriptive cultural analysis focusing on living organizational systems and the social construction of community. There is a clear need for a book about organizational community with theoretical and practical applications that can be used to assess and develop the individual and organization competencies necessary for community building. It demonstrates that it is possible to create and sustain community within organizations to support collective goals and shared values as individual's personal values and goals are expressed and achieved. Chapters in the first part develop the theoretical and conceptual framework for building community within and among organizations. Part Two explores the political, technological, and social processes related to developing organizational community. Finally, Part Three describes the specific contexts of organizational community in a variety of outstanding corporations and nonprofit social service organizations.Year: 2002Pages: "
