Summary: Strategy and Business 2012 Organizational Culture Book of the Year This third edition of the classic resource, Productive Workplaces is smart, well-written and well-researched, thoughtful, somewhat provocative, and a one-of-a-kind review of the integration of economics, technology, and people. It covers such topics as: the work on self as integral to organizational change; the revision of Lewinian concepts for a new era; and the history behind "getting everybody improving whole systems" as a response to fast change and increasing diversity (not the same as using any particular method). The themes, case studies (many revisited), and models are as relevant as ever.Summary: Intro -- Productive Workplaces : Dignity, Meaning, and Community in the 21st Century -- Contents -- Updates from the Field -- Foreword : The Existential Question -- Preface:Welcome to Productive Workplaces, 25th Anniversary Edition -- Introduction: Getting the Most from Productive Workplaces -- PART ONE Mythology and Managing -- ONE A Mythology of Organizational Change -- TWO How I Learned to Manage by Managing -- PART TWO Searching for Productive Workplaces -- THREE Scientific Management: A Tale of Two Taylors -- FOUR Taylor Invents a New Profession -- FIVE Action Research: Lewin Revises Taylorism -- SIX Lewin's Legacy to Management -- SEVEN The Transition to Experiential Learning -- EIGHT McGregor and the Roots of Organization Development -- NINE Theories X and Y for a New Generation -- TEN Emery and Trist Redefine the Workplace -- ELEVEN Learning to Work in a New Paradigm -- PART THRE E Learning from Experience -- TWELVE Putting Action Research to Work -- THIRTEEN Rethinking Diagnosis and Action -- Case 1.
