Das Unternehmen als kulturelles Feld

Cooperatives are hybrid organisations; mergers are critical moments for the workforce of companies. Based on a field theory frame of reference and the methodology derived from it, this work succeeds in demonstrating that a hybrid corporate culture can form a different habitus within the workforce of a German cooperative bank, on the basis of which far-reaching recommendations for culture-conscious management of hybrid organisations in general and of merger processes in particular can be derived. Developed using the specific example of a cooperative bank, the book's method and results can also be transferred to other types of hybrid organisations and are therefore equally relevant for both academia and practice.
