> THE CULTURAL WORK OF CORPORATIONS argues that 
> corporate culture?the values, customs, and 
> conventions of a business organization?has 
> altered how workers conduct themselves both 
> inside and outside the workplace. Brown 
> demonstrates that corporate culture, an idea 
> celebrated by business magazines and books, 
> human resources departments, executives, and 
> management theorists, is really a means of 
> extending and strengthening work's presence in 
> all aspects of workers' lives, even aspects 
> generally categorized as private. Innovative in 
> its execution, this book draws together a range 
> of literature and information, including popular 
> advice books, organizational theory, fiction, 
> corporate mission statements, business histories, and economic histories.
