“It is always amazing when authors get together to discuss a topic. Based on conversations and studies, different experiences reveal the numerous perspectives on the complex topic of organizational culture. This expanded look at the different fields of knowledge in this book inspires advances. A toast to this work and its authors, which reveal theories and practices to delve into the density of organizations and understand that harmony comes from the behavior of people who transform organizational cultures with communication, discourse and language.”—Marlene Marchiori, writer and teacher, Brazil; https://marlenemarchiori.com.br/
