Culture 2.0

“Culture 2.0: The Intersection of National and Organizational Culture is a wonderful and insightful read for anybody interested in the eternal puzzle that is culture. Whereas most studies tend to focus on this or that aspect of culture, or either on micro or macro levels, the chapters of this edited volume importantly draw connections across national and organizational (or institutional) cultures to address that fundamental question: Why is it that we do what we do? The chapters not only draw from a wide variety of academic disciplines, but they consider a host of practical factors and outcomes shaping and shaped by culture—ranging from leadership to culture change, and from technology to cross-cultural communication. This book is a must for gaining cultural competence.” —Rahul Mitra, Associate Professor, Communication, Wayne State University, USA
“Culture 2.0: The Intersection of National and Organizational Culture, edited by Dr. Joann Keyton, distinguished professor emerita at North Carolina State University, makes a timely contribution to examine the complicated mechanisms as related to national cultures and organizational cultures. Through various contributing chapters, Keyton and co-authors advance knowledge of the topic by providing collective views from diverse perspectives, including but are not limited to cultural functions and influences, changing leadership, culture discourse, and technological influences on culture. As addressed in this book, the critical thinking built around the concept of Culture 2.0 deserves more attention.” —Juan Meng, Department Head and Associate Professor, Advertising and Public Relations at the University of Georgia, USA; Author of PR Women with Influence: Breaking through the Ethical and Leadership Challenges (Peter Lang, 2021)
“Culture 2.0: The Intersection of National and Organizational Culture moves well beyond the usual prescriptive and hones in on often neglected spaces and tools of influence and potential transformation. In this way, authors weave in the concepts of power and systems interconnections relating to culture to address contemporary leadership challenges. This book is a must-read for anyone grappling with how to create change systemically and sustainably.” —Wanda Krause, Associate Professor, School of Leadership Studies, Royal Roads University, British Columbia; Author of Civil Society and Women Activists in the Middle East; Women in Civil Society; and Spiritual Activism; Editor of Citizenship, Security, & Democracy
