Resumen del Editor

Reframing Organizations provides time-tested guidance for more effective organizational leadership. Rooted in decades of social science research across multiple disciplines, Bolman and Deal's four-frame model has continued to evolve since its conception more than 25 years ago. This new seventh edition will be updated to include additional coverage of cross-sector collaboration, generational differences, virtual environments, globalization, sustainability, and communication across cultures. The instructor's guide will be expanded to provide additional tools for the classroom, including chapter summary tip sheets, mini-assessments, Bolman and Deal podcasts, and more. These recent revisions reflect the intersection of listener recommendations and the current leadership environment, resulting in a renewed practicality and even greater alignment with everyday application.

The seventh edition combines the latest research from organizational theory, organizational behavior, psychology, sociology, political science, and more. It will be updated to include advances in the field since the sixth edition, with new case studies for each frame, and will address the COVID-19 pandemic.

A vital book

Perhaps one of the most insightful and well-supported assessments of what organizations need from managers and leaders.

A long list of things to think about

The book gives a huge list of things to think about when running an organization. It offers four frames which help a little to categorize and remember them. However, it offers little inquiry into the objective reasons and mechanisms that make one strategy better than another for a particular situation. Despite all the progress being made in the fields of psychology and sociology, the authors seem to feel that managers must approach all important problems without any a priori models or principles.

Great Textbook for Management

Narrator sounded like computer-generated voice but the content is worth listening 🎧. Great book with resounding empirical evidence!

Great book, terrible narrator

I have this book for my PhD and I loved that I could listen to it and have a physical copy. The narration is all but impossible to listen too and I listen to a lot of books. It sounds like a robot from NY, no fluidity or natural voice inflexions. I honestly couldn't get past chapter two. I'd rather read the physical book.

Worst narrator ever

I’ve listened to a lot of podcasts and audiobooks. This has the worst narration ever. It’s hard to imagine how they got that guy in the studio and said yep that’s great. Keep going.

Better than expected

I had to read this for an admin class. If it wasn’t for the stories and humor, I would have given up. The reader is a bit nasal but speed him up and give him a few chapters and you may find his voice almost soothing. Okay maybe not but the premise of the book is great a they have updated the 7th edition very well.

6th edition is probably better

The authors’ irrational need to weave Trump into so many examples with little to no related context weakens and cheapens the value of this book.

They need to reframe their Trump Derangement Syndrome and focus on actual business practice.

There are some interesting scenarios herein, the versions prior to a Trump presidency likely offer good value.

Worst Reader Ever

Who allowed such a travesty of narration for this book?? I couldn’t do it and I really did try. I sped him up, slowed him down, listened anyway… in the end I gave up by chapter 3 or 4 because the ill-paced monotone voice made it impossible to retain anything being read.
