From the Back Cover:
This volume brings together the best-known and most influential articles on sensemaking by one of its most distinguished exponents, Karl Weick.
About the Author:
Weick explores the process of how organizations discover that they face important decisions. Often organizations have discussions in order to see what they think, or act in order to see what they want - before they are even aware that a decision has to be made. The effective organization is one that understands this process of sensemaking and learns to manage it with wisdom. The ways in which people do that are demonstrated in chapters of this book.
This important collection provides a valuable addition to the international literature on organization theory and will be welcomed by students and researchers alike.
Karl E. Weick is the Rensis Likert College Professor of Organizational Behavior and Psychology and Professor of Psychology at the University of Michigan. He has written numerous books and articles, including Sensemaking in Organizations (1995), and The Social Psychology of Organizing (Second Edition 1980).
