Since the 1970's there has been a growing interest in examining the nature of organizational culture and change. In Changing Organizational Culture, author Philip Nufrio takes this examination one step further by exploring the use of multivariate statistics and applying them in a time-based study. As a result, Dr. Nufrio offers valuable insight into the organizational impact of the National Performance Review on the federal cabinet executive agencies. His conclusion: that the measurement model does not support evidence of significant cultural change during the NPR implementation, despite certain cultural questions that experienced change within these agencies. Rather, the conclusions drawn from this landmark study validate those of the literature in their assertion that teamwork is an important variable in defining organizational culture. Add to this Dr. Nufrio's theory that the development of reward systems might in fact be an indicator of organizational culture change, and it becomes clear that Changing Organizational Culture offers valuable information not only to students and educators, but to policy-makers and administrators alike.
