Chris Argyris investiga las consecuencias imprevistas de las estructuras organizativas formales y los sistemas de gestión en los individuos. Su trabajo explora cómo las personas se adaptan al cambio y cómo gestionar eficazmente estos procesos, especialmente a nivel ejecutivo. Durante la última década, Argyris ha desarrollado una teoría del aprendizaje individual y organizacional, basando el diagnóstico y la acción en el razonamiento humano.
Chris Argyris explores why it is that the same conflicts are experienced in organizations, yet the issues are often ignored and never addressed. He shows how our behavior creates these 'organizational traps', and that while much writing on management also shows this, it doesn't focus on how to avoid these traps.
