From the Publisher

An analysis of corporate culture from the inside

Culture Section Book Award, American Sociological Association

AAUP Book Jacket Award

From the Inside Flap

"[P]rovides a much needed balance to the organizational-culture literature that is sweeping the organizational-behavior field and...making its way into popular culture."
—Paul DiMaggio

"Kunda finds a dark side to the new management desire to 'bind employees' hearts and minds to the corporate interest.'... The pervasive employee response is irony—acceptance and detachment at the same time. Thus the culture undermines itself."
—Sloan Management Review

"Using detailed descriptions of everyday rituals and interactions in which the 'corporate culture' is brought to life, as well as excerpts of in-depth interviews, the author portrays vividly the tension caused by managerial control and the forms of individual experience it produces."
—Science Books & Films

"[Engineering Culture] is a wonderfully ironic account of corporate life in the fast lanes of the high-tech trades.... Kunda's display of the emotional underlife of organizational fun-and-games is a most revealing one."
—John Van Maanen, MIT
