     Summary

Corporate Culture: Illuminating the Black Hole is the definitive source of knowledge for understanding and building the new type of business culture that is required in this age of radical business change. Corporate Culture uses dozens of real-life examples drawn from Dr. Want’s many years of consulting and corporate experience. It applies unique tools such as the proprietary Hierarchy of Corporate Cultures, ranging from Predatory through Bureaucratic to high-performing New Age cultures. Dr. Want shows concretely and clearly how a company’s culture permeates everything it does and how a company’s culture permeates everything it does and how a company can revitalize its culture on order to grow and perform to its maximum capability. Case studies show how corporate culture has contributed to the success of such companies as Nucor, Harley-Davidson, Green Mountain Coffee Roasters, and Cisco Systems, among others. The book also examines specific companies that have faltered due to their failed corporate cultures.
