Chris Argyris se zaměřuje na pochopení dopadů organizačních struktur a manažerských systémů na jednotlivce. Jeho práce zkoumá, jak se lidé přizpůsobují změnám a jak lze tyto procesy řídit, zejména na vedoucích pozicích. V posledním desetiletí se Argyris věnuje teorii učení jednotlivců a organizací, která klade důraz na lidské uvažování jako základ pro diagnostiku a jednání.
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.
