N2  - "What is organizational culture? Why does it matter? This book demonstrates that conventional wisdom on this fundamental business topic has surpassed its usefulness. The author comes neither to praise scholarship on culture, nor to bury it - rather to build something fit for purpose by reflecting on the power of stories and storytelling.
