Descrição
Resumo:In this article, the author discusses the theorethical and methodological difficulties that surrounds the study of organizational culture. It is argued that a more substantial progress has not been made in this field due to an inadequate separation of the objets and methods of study of anthropology and sociology, on one side, and psychology, on the other. This confusion of spheres has been causing a persistent difficulty on the definition of the object of analysis and consequently on the production of valid research results.
