The essays in this volume represent an attempt to move the study of organizational culture beyond earlier rationalistic} paradigms. Topics range from physical settings (architecture and design),to corporate imagery and rhetoric, to issues of control. Through the use of holistic, interpretive, and interactive models, the contributors infuse new perspectives into the study of bounded corporate space and its symbolic dimensions and overtones.
