The notion of organizational culture has become a matter of central importance with the great increase in the size of organizations in the twentieth century. Organizational culture is the great invisible force that decides the difference between success and failure and serves as the key to organizational change, productivity, innovation, and communication. Memory as a Moral Decision, now available in paperback, investigates the kind of world conceptualized by those who have described organizations and the kind of moral world they have in fact constructed, through its ideals and images, for the men and women who work in organizations. Feldman builds his analysis around a historically grounded concept of moral tradition. He demonstrates a central insight: when those who have written on organizational culture have addressed issues of ethics, they have ignored the past as a foundation to stabilize and maintain moral commitments. Instead, they have fluctuated between attempts to base ethics on executive rationality and attempts to escape the suffocating logic of rationalism. The book's interdisciplinary approach uses the insights of sociology, psychology, and culture studies to create an invaluable framework for the study of ethics in organizations.
