Sensemaking in Organizations by Karl E. Weick
4.0
As a post-positivist perspective, this is an excellent account of the process of how existing organizations contain interdependent actors' experience as a mechanism for making sense through puzzle solving. This is an excellent read for several reasons:
1. It provides ample literature and direction for anyone who wishes to use sensemaking in their own research,
2. It leans on the author's prior research, and others' to develop a nice synthesis in order to explain the prior interests of sensemaking and organizational research.
3. It gives a solid enough account that it suggests how all actors of an organization can actively use sensemaking as a process to develop themselves and the organizations they take a part in.
