Chris Argyris investigates the unintended consequences of formal organizational structures and management systems on individuals. His work explores how people adapt to change and how to effectively manage these processes, particularly at executive levels. Over the past decade, Argyris has developed a theory of individual and organizational learning, grounding diagnosis and action in human reasoning.
Organizational defences that exist in most organizations can inhibit organizational performance. This book shows how to diagnose the organization to expose the weaknesses. Each chapter contains advice about how to reduce organizational defences to bring about improved involvement and performance.
