Cultural Change and Managerial Careers

Abstract

Analyses the links between the process of cultural change and managerial career systems. Describes qualitative research conducted in Jaguar Cars, British Airways, British Nuclear Fuels and British Airports Authority while experiencing major changes associated with privatization decisions. Concludes that in order to understand corporate culture change it is necessary to consider the impact of both senior managers and human resource management procedures, in particular managerial career systems, within the context of the particular history of the organization in question.
