Abstract

Organizational cultures are important to individuals and to groups because they offer guidelines about how to act and deal with change, and they provide internal logic for “why things are the way they are.” Analysis of the cultural aspects of organizational behavior can lead to a more complete understanding of how conservation agencies develop and use culture strategically, particularly in conceptualizing and managing resource places. Drawing examples from public lands management, this chapter considers how research about organizational culture can provide insights about place-based conservation.
