Jerome Kuperman

Business Administration  

Weick, Karl.  Sensemaking in Organizations.  Thousand Oaks: Sage Publications, 1995.

Dr. Kuperman chose this book because:

“Drawing from his background in social psychology, Karl Weick has been a critical force in helping to shape the direction of management thinking and research.  From his first book in 1979 to the present, Weick’s research has been indispensable in helping me and many others in the management area to see how cognitive and social psychology theories could be practically applied in the business context.  A primary focus of Weick and others similarly interested in psychology is the concept of ‘sensemaking’ and I believe this book provides a very effective overview of work done in this area.”
