The field of organization theory has been traditionally dominated by a focus on decision-making and the concept of strategic rationality -- an approach which has largely ignored the inherent complexity and ambiguity of real-world organizations and their environments. The sense-making process looks at how the creation of reality occurs when people make retrospective sense of the situations in which they find themselves. While James March and Richard Cyert are exponents of the rational decision-making approach, Karl Weick is considered the "guru" within academic sense-making circles.

Students and scholars of organizational theory will delight in this authoritative collection.
