Organisational Culture Speech Bubbles

Organisational Culture Speech Bubbles

Escape from the babble trap!

Stefan Kaduk, Dirk Osmetz and Stefanie Rödel take a close look at the terms which are playing a part in the current discussions about organisational culture and which are often seen as self-evident components of a ‘good culture’, and try to go against the grain. The consensus on the suitability of these phrases should not come as a surprise, seeing as the words are mostly plastic words, ‘fit-all expressions’, which can be safely used in any situation and can never be wrong. This immunity prompted the authors to have a look behind
the scenes.

Lofty phrases and plastic communication are part of everyday life within organisational culture and the
consulting industry. All this is concentrated in one place and, for the first time, set out quite clearly as a conceptual glossary: ironically provocative in form, differentiating, in no way didactic and never superficial.

• Plain language with style and an entertainment factor
