	History of Education: Selected Moments
		Schein sees process consultation as an emergent and continuous process that takes a balanced approach between concern for human issues, process and long-range effectiveness, on the one hand, and tasks, content and short-run efficiency or expediency on the other hand.
		Schein insists that process consultation is focused on both structure and process as some processes are entrenched to the point that they become part of the structure (1988, 17).
		Schein's book was a pioneer in moving many of these issues forward and played an important role in bringing the focus to the human side of the equation at work.

		Edgar Schein also discusses that culture not only exists in organizations but also typically form around the functional units of the organizations, which is known as the ‘Subcultures’.
		As Edgar Schein has stressed that culture is deep and thus his statements become abstract at times, and it is not easy to understand the real meaning behind it.

	History of Education: Selected Moments
		(Schein, p.11) This approach is contrasted with that of the "expert" or "doctor" roles; the consultant is not expected to arrive on the scene with answers to every problem, nor a prescription to fix whatever ailment the organization has identified.

		Schein concludes Volume II with a brief yet personally candid discussion of some of the ethical issues that consultants sometimes face, and some overall conclusions about the helping process in organizations.

		Schein’s analysis concludes that these habits, well learned by the entire DEC family and well rewarded for thirty years, prevented DEC from adapting to changes in computing and the marketplace that were occurring during its forty year history.

		Edgar Schien consulted to DEC throughout its history and so had unparalleled access to all the major players, and an inside view of all the major events.
		Schein, Kampas, DeLisi, and Sonduck explain in detail how a particular culture can become so embedded that an organization is unable to adapt to changing circumstances even though it sees the need very clearly.
		The essential elements of DEC?s culture are still visible in many other organizations today, and most former employees are so positive about their days at DEC that they attempt to reproduce its culture in their current work situations.

		As executives, whose reference group is also outside the organization, are promoted, they become more impersonal, seeing people more as a cost than as a capital investment.

		With mergers and acquisitions throwing disparate corporate cultures together at an unprecedented rate, the need to find a common ground and create effective business practices has become a real problem; Schein's methodologies and models should be welcome tools in helping companies reevaluate and reform their identities.
		This book is of Schein's usual high caliber and contains an incredible amount of useful information for both the consultant and the manager.
		My one criticism would be that when read consecutively, the chapter topics did not seem to flow logically (to his credit, the author does state in the introduction that he designed the book to be read in such a way that people could skip around to what interested them).
