Edgar Schein investigates organizational culture, process consultation, the research process, career dynamics, and organization learning and change. In Career Anchors, 3d Ed (Wiley, 2006)), he shows how individuals can diagnose their own career needs and managers can diagnose the future of jobs. His research on culture shows how national, organizational, and occupational cultures influence organizational performance (Organizational Culture and Leadership, 4th Ed, 2010). How consultants work on problems in human systems and the dynamics of the helping process are analyzed in Process Consultation Revisited (1999) and Helping (2009). Schein has done two cultural case studies--Strategic Pragmatism: The Culture of Singapore's Economic Development Board (MIT Press, 1996), and DEC is Dead; Long Live DEC (Berett-Kohler, 2003), His Corporate Culture Survival Guide, 2d Ed (Jossey-Bass, 2009) tells managers how to deal with culture issues in their organizations.
