Cultures of Culture: Academics, Practitioners and the Pragmatics of Normative Control.
Barley, Stephen R.; And Others
Administrative Science Quarterly, v33 n1 p24-60 Mar 1988
Presents a method for assessing whether members of two subcultures (academics and practitioners) have influenced each other's interpretation. Examines texts of 192 organizational culture articles written between 1975 and 1984 for evidence of acculturation. While each group initially conceptualized organizational culture differently, academics over time moved closer to the practitioners' viewpoint. Includes 8 tables and 75 references. (MLH)
