Why good management ideas fail : the neglected power of organizational culture 

 -  2000 
<br/><br/> Offers four fundamental reasons why some management ideas take root and remain viable and others fail viz. all organizations are basically, social organisms; culture is more powerful than anything else in the organization; system-focused interventions work, component-centered interventions usuallly do not; interventions clearly tied to business strategy work, interventions not clearly tied to business strategy do not.
